Fairfax County Public Library

The library's service area spans both the county and Fairfax, and several local jurisdictions through reciprocity agreements serving nearly half a million registered users.

[9] The library and their Friends groups sponsor various programs, such as children's story times, national and local author readings and book signings, local musical concerts, technology classes and one-on-one sessions, and special events for the county's diverse population.

[11] Prior to Hudson, Sam (Edwin S.) Clay III served as library director for more than thirty years.

A card is also available free for a person who lives, works or owns property in a jurisdiction that provides reciprocal privileges.

[13] Thus, cards are available for free for residents, property owners and employees working in Washington, D.C.; the Maryland Counties of Frederick, Montgomery, and Prince George's; the Virginia cities of Alexandria, Falls Church, Manassas and Manassas Park; and the Virginia counties of Arlington, Fauquier, Loudoun, and Prince William.
