National News Literacy Week

Posted by Stacy Kitsis | February 2, 2026

A very happy National News Literacy Week to all who celebrate.

In a world where it’s harder than ever to know what’s real, news literacy education gives us the tools to judge for ourselves what information to trust, share, and act upon. It reminds us that healthy skepticism is not the same thing as cynicism.

Arlington Reads Together

Posted by Stacy Kitsis | January 14, 2026

We are excited to announce that the public library's annual community read program, Arlington Reads Together (ART), returns in March with KLARA AND THE SUN by Kazuo Ishiguro.

This literary science fiction novel is the story of Klara, a solar-powered Artificial Friend who observes human behavior and hopes to be chosen by a child. She is eventually purchased by a girl who is chronically ill after a genetic "lifting" procedure. Klara, who sees the sun as a source of life and power, becomes devoted to her and believes she can bargain with the sun to save her life. The book explores the fundamental question: what does it mean to be human?

In addition to all the other great ART programming, we will be discussing the ART selection at the Intergenerational Book Club on March 19. Everyone is welcome!
