Hello from the Friends of the Fluvanna County Library. Being a member of our group helps fund the many offerings of the Library. Cyndi Hoffman, our Library Director, and her fantastic staff never let up in their efforts to provide us with whatever we need from our public library, be it information, reading materials for fun or education, computer access, story times, movies, programs for all ages … And our dues are such a bargain: $5 for an individual, $10 for a family! Please consider renewing or joining for the first time. We also welcome donations in addition to your membership fee, all of which are tax-deductible. Thank you for your support in the past.
