Friends of the City of Fairfax Regional Library have been supporting their branch and the
library system for nearly a quarter century. This dedicated group raises funds, through used book sales, for library activities at the branch and
have made generous donations to support the library system. They are strong advocates for the library and its mission, as well as providing support
for library-related community activities.

The City of Fairfax Regional
Library Friends have provided financial support
for the Summer Library Program, the Fall for
the Book Festival, library activities for the
annual Chocolate Lover's Festival, and many
other county, city, and local programs, including
children's reading programs. The Friends have
purchased reference and circulation desks, book
carts, shelving, magazine subscriptions, supplies
and accessories for the branch, and conservation
supplies for the Virginia Room. Each year they
graciously sponsor the luncheon for volunteers
without whom the library could not function
as well. The Friends recently donated $50,000
to the
Fairfax
Library Foundation to be
used in the new library.
