MCPL’s Davis branch is located at 6400 Democracy Boulevard in Bethesda. It was built on land donated to the county in memory of Floyd E. Davis, Sr. by his family. The branch, which reopened in April 2017 after undergoing a refresh, has laptops to loan for in-house use, collaboration spaces, and a thriving English Conversation group which meets weekly. In 2018, Davis staff will greatly expand programming for the community, particularly for children, teens, and families. Stop in and check out all the great resources, services, and materials!
