 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.

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.
