Give the Gift of Reading this Holiday Season!

Have you considered the gift of reading this holiday season with a donation to the Fairfax County Public Library System? Thousands of people are on the Library’s waiting lists to check out popular books and bestsellers. The Library is not always able to buy enough copies of a book to satisfy the demand.

For example, you may have heard of the young girl named Malala Yousafzai and her inspirational biography, I Am Malala: The Girl Who Stood Up for Education and Was Shot by the Taliban. Her story of courage and perseverance is known throughout the world, and the book has been on hold for library customers since its release in early October. 

Now you can help shorten the waiting lists through the Library Foundation’s First Loan program. Purchase a book for the Library, and you or that special reader in your life could be the first to read it!  Click here for more on how to purchase high demand books for your library through the First Loan Program. 

The First Loan program is supported by the Fairfax Library Foundation, a private, nonprofit corporation committed to providing supplementary support to the Fairfax County Public Library in order to enhance library services for our community and enrich the lives of those who live, work and study in our community. Making a gift to Fairfax Library Foundation is thoughtful, appreciated and easy. If you would like to help the Fairfax County Public Library, the Foundation welcomes your tax-deductible donation in several ways. Click here to read more about how you can contribute.
