TextFriends of Access Services
The Friends of Access Services group was formed
in 2005 for the purpose of providing advice and assistance to the branch
manager of the Access Services library. The Access Services branch of the
Fairfax County Public Library provides a broad range of library services
to people with disabilities who cannot read standard print and to those
with special needs who are unable to visit a local library. In the spring
of 2005 a Friends of Access Services mission statement was developed and
approved by the group and in the fall of 2005 the group was recognized by
the Library Board.

Mission Statement
The Friends’ mission statement says in part that the group will
“encourage and support library services which are accessible to disabled
persons.” The group will assist and advise the branch manager of Access
Services in developing and carrying out such services. We seek to
communicate with residents who may benefit from such services and who may
be able to provide support.
Location
The Friends of Access Services holds its meetings in the Access Services
library, which is located at the Fairfax County Government Center, 12000
Government Center Parkway, Suite 123.
