Donating Books
You can make a real and tangible difference to Fairfax readers during the Library's current budget shortfall. Thousands of people are on the Library's waiting lists to check out popular books and bestsellers, and because of budget constraints, the Library is not able to buy enough copies to satisfy demand. Now you can help shorten the waiting lists and get books into the hands of avid readers!
Library specialists have created a list of high-demand books that you can purchase through Amazon.com's Wish List program. By donating one of these books to the Library, you can be sure that you're meeting an immediate and specific need.
