Wheaton Regional Library
240-777-0678
The Wheaton branch of the Montgomery County public library is a bustling, yet still quiet, library that specializes in health information. A bright, well-stocked collection includes books, DVDs and magazines.
Downstairs, the Friends of the Library have a permanent used booksale that benefits the library system, there is a large meeting room, and "Laptop Lane," a table with dedicated outlets and Wi-Fi available, keep you connected.
The Wheaton Regional Library also reflects the diversity of the community with "Welcome" written in several languages on the wall, and a sizable collection of books in Spanish, Vietnamese, Korean and Chinese. A children's section hosts a storytime hour during the school year.
