Proposed budget cuts may put the fate of John Marshall Branch Library in limbo. If you care about keeping open the only public library in Northern Fauquier County, please contact your local County Board of Supervisors representative and let them know how you feel.

TWO IMPORTANT LIBRARY ORIENTED MEETINGS IN FEBRUARY:

On February 9th at 4 pm there will be a Community Meeting at the Marshall Community Center to discuss concerns and show support for the Marshall library. All ages are encouraged to attend. The press and Library Board members will be invited, too- so please come and be seen!

There will also be a Board of Supervisors meeting at 6:30 on February 18th at the Warren Green Building in Warrenton and that we want to get as many people there as possible as a show of support for the library. We will have an opportunity to speak during the citizen's comment period. Please let everyone concerned know about this.  Let us show them that we care about our library.
