 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.

who may benefit from such services and who
may be able to provide support.
