The Central Rappahannock Regional Library Fredericksburg Branch at 1201 Caroline Street.

All Central Rappahannock Regional Library (CRRL) locations are scheduled to open at 1 p.m on Tuesday, January 7, 2025. This delayed opening is due to ongoing impacts from Winter Storm Blair. Library officials advise that opening times may be adjusted further if weather or road conditions worsen.

The library system provides access to technology, community events, educational programs, and resources like homework help, job search tools, and genealogical research. Its facilities include multiple branches, mobile libraries, and digital collections that can be accessed online.

Patrons are encouraged to check the library’s website or social media channels for the most up-to-date information on hours and services.
