Manassas Park is ready to take the next steps to leave the Prince William Public Library System and open its own library.
To do so, city leaders want to hold a public hearing at 7 p.m. Tuesday, February 18 on a plan to hire California-based firm Library Systems & Services to operate a new library that would be located at 9701 Manassas Drive.

Business in Manassas is looking up, according to the city’s economic development director.
In fact, there are more jobs available right now in the city than there are people to fill them. “The city is prosperous,” said city economic development director Patrick Small during a city council meeting on Monday, January 27.
There is now an investigation into what happened after a Woodbridge Senior High School football coach stepped down last fall.
The one thing city leaders in Manassas don’t want is tall buildings that loom over people as they walk on downtown sidewalks.
In the city’s new comprehensive plan, a vision for 2040, the city wants all buildings that line streets to be constructed in a way so that a three-story portion of the building abuts the street, while a “step back” portion of the building rises as high as five stories.
