  • Library Programs

    Library Programs The Fauquier County Public Library provides programs to meet the interests and needs of community members and to represent the wide range of ideas and views contained in the library’s materials collection. These programs are often presented in cooperation with other agencies and institutions as well as other public and private resources. The ultimate responsibility for selection of library programs rests with the library director who operates within the framework of policies determined by the Board of Trustees. All library-sponsored programs are free and open to the public. Occasionally, space restrictions or program requirements may limit the number of people who may attend. Persons who attend library programs are expected to adhere to the library’s policy on patron conduct. Presenters may not solicit business before, during, or following a program. Exempt are authors or performers who speak about books they have authored or perform material they have written or recorded. Before or after the presentation, the author, performer, or his/her representative may sell copies of the published or recorded work. Presentation at the library of any specific idea, strategy, financial plan, or investment does not constitute library endorsement. Organizations or business affiliation will be used by the library in promotion of programs. This also does not constitute endorsement, merely acknowledgment.

  • Volunteers

    Volunteers The Fauquier County Public Library welcomes and encourages members of the community to volunteer their time and talents to enrich and expand library services. Volunteers enhance, rather than replace, adequate staffing. They may be used for special events, projects, and activities or on a regular basis to assist staff. Services provided by volunteers aid the library in making the best use of its fiscal resources The library works cooperatively with local students who must complete service hours as part of an authorized school program to earn academic credit or advanced awards. Students will be accepted if there is a suitable job match when skills, interests, and schedules are considered. Volunteers are expected to conform to all policies of the Fauquier Library. Volunteers are selected and retained for as long as the library needs their services. Volunteer work may be subject to review and evaluation, correction and possibly termination if it is in the best interests of the library. The library maintains the right to deny a volunteer position to anyone it feels is unsuitable for any reason. Each year the library will recognize its volunteers for their service. Additionally, as an incentive to recruit and retain talented volunteers, the Library Board extends fine-free status to long-term volunteers. (“Long-term” is defined as volunteers who contribute library service for at least three hours a week for a minimum of one year in a manner agreed upon by the volunteer and his or her library staff supervisor.)
