Everything in the Book Barn was given. Everything it earns goes to the library.
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.
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.

New computers. The Youth Summer Reading Program. Emergency HVAC when the heat goes out in February. An on-site tech assistant who helps patrons with their devices, one at a time.

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