Hello from the Friends of the Fluvanna County Library. We all rely on the public library for information, reading materials, computer access, story times, movies, programs … The list goes on and on. We are so grateful to Cyndi Hoffman, Library Director, and all the staff for their hard work. The Fluvanna County Library has never stopped serving its patrons! Our membership drive helps fund the many offerings of the Library. Our dues remain the same: $5.00 individual, $10.00 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. We look forward to your support in 2023. Sincerely, Lonnie Elliott, President, Friends of the Fluvanna County Library
