Greetings and a Very Warm Welcome from The Friends of the Fluvanna County Library (FOL, Friends)!
We hope that you will help support our library by becoming a member of the FOL for the first time or by renewing your annual membership. We are a 501(c)(3) organization so your annual membership dues and your donations are tax deductible. Membership for 2026 remains a bargain at $5 for an individual or $10 for a family.
The Friends fund the many workshops, crafts, programs for all ages, and anything else that is not supplied by the Board of Trustees of the Library or the Fluvanna County Board of Supervisors. Cyndi Hoffman, our fabulous Library Director, and her creative staff do a great job of providing a wide variety of activities that are well suited to our community. We hope that you will join the Friends this year to help support everyone’s efforts.
Members will receive 1 or 2 emails each month with information about the program for the next meeting, minutes of the previous meeting, and other important library news.
We appreciate your past contributions and hope we can count on your support in 2026.
With Best Regards,
Marilyn Austin & Chris Dunne, Co-Presidents (2025/2026), Friends of the Fluvanna County Library
