Friends of the
Rappahannock County Library

We buy the things a small county library budget cannot stretch to cover.

We are the Friends of the Rappahannock County Library - a volunteer group that buys the things a small county library budget cannot stretch to cover. Computers. Summer reading. The person who sits down with you and fixes your phone.

What we fund

The Friends supplement the library - technology support, contributions to the summer reading programs, and youth programs.

Where the money goes

Programs we support

  • Summer reading programs

    The Friends contribute every year, to the youth program and the adult one alongside it.

  • Basic Computer Help

    Funded in full by the Friends - a weekly assistant who sits down one-on-one with patrons and helps with their devices.

  • Community appreciation event

    The Friends contribute toward the food.

  • Landscaping and grounds

    Emergency and seasonal landscaping of the library grounds.

And others, through the year.

The Book Barn

Saturdays, 10 to 2, in the barn beside the library. Used books, audiobooks, CDs, DVDs, puzzles, and a rack of historic Rappahannock County maps. Every item was donated. Every dollar goes back to the library.

How to help

Give us your books. Give us a Saturday. Give us twenty dollars. All three are useful, and the first one is free.
