It’s budget season, and our #library is at risk of further cuts to its already limited budget. We’re incredibly grateful to the group of #librarylovers who joined us for the budget hearing last night to share with the County Board how the library makes a difference in their daily lives!

We're is excited to team up with the Northern Virginia Juvenile Detention Center to bring a brand new #library to life for the residents. Thanks to the Arlington VA Library staff for curating and ordering all the books. And thanks to those who donate to FOAL to make programs like this possible.
