Culmore Library

Culmore Community Library is closed through January 2027. The closure is necessary to upgrade the heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system to better serve the needs of the community.

Culmore Library staff have been shifted to other locations during this closure. While this library is closed, customers are invited to visit a nearby branch – close options include Thomas Jefferson (TJ Google Map) and George Mason Regional (GM Google Map) libraries.

Staff will provide library programming at Culmore United Methodist Church - 3400 Charles Street - Falls Church, VA 22041 (Culmore Library Outreach Events).

July 11, 2022, FALLS CHURCH, Va. – Fairfax County officials gathered Saturday to honor Carmen Fernandez, a longtime pillar of the Culmore community.

A conference room at Culmore Library in Falls Church now bears plaques in Fernandez’s honor. The Fairfax County Public Library (FCPL) Board of Trustees voted in June 2022 to confer the honor.

Born in Cuba, Fernandez came to the U.S. in 1960 and worked as a social worker in Arlington County for 25 years before founding the nonprofit Hispanics Against Child Abuse and Neglect (HACAN), according to her obituary.

Fernandez spent many Saturday mornings in the library room that now bears her name facilitating community programs and activities for elementary school-aged children through a HACAN program known as Morning Star, as well as parenting education classes through the Morning Star Mothers program.

“It’s Saturday morning and here we are at the library, where Carmen spent hundreds of Saturday mornings,” said Fairfax County Supervisor Penny Gross. “That was Carmen, always willing to give time and effort to her community … Her legacy is here, in the faces of the many children she inspired.

Carmen Paredes, HACAN’s executive director, also had words of praise for Fernandez, calling her “an extraordinary woman who could see people’s potential and believe in them.”

Fernandez’s children Silvia Brugge, Celia Fruchterman, Javier and Jorge Fernandez were on hand for the unveiling of the plaques.
