About the Charity

Public libraries are the great equalizers in society: all are invited to expand their minds, and anyone can access critical community resources. The Foundation supports Virginia�s largest public library system, developing initiatives for its 23 branches that serve 1.2 million residents. Early literacy outreach representatives bring books and story time visits to preschool children in childcare centers and Head Start classrooms. First-time juvenile offenders participate in a rehabilitative book group, an alternative to formal court action that builds their self-esteem and drastically reduces recidivism. Scholarships for library staff and volunteers enhance their skills, and funding for new books and materials (more than $150,000 annually) allows for the largest possible selection. With less than 1% of Fairfax County�s budget allocated to libraries, the Foundation ensures these essential institutions continue to meet residents� needs.
