The Friends' Choice Award was established by the Fairfax County Library Board of Trustees to recognize the valuable contributions of Library Friends members or volunteers. The award annually spotlights a volunteer whose efforts had a positive impact on the work of each Friends group.
The Oakton Friends' Choice Awards for 2021 were awarded to:
- Barbara Hippe, who works tirelessly as our Book Sale Chairperson and coordinates donation sorting volunteers.
- Mary Colombi, our Second Vice President, who has a keen knowledge of books and works hard to find and sell the most wanted books to raise funds for the library.
- Ann Balch, who maintains our monthly newsletter and web site, and also serves as our Membership Chairperson.
Board meetings are generally held on the third Tuesday of most months at 7 p.m. in the Oakton Library meeting room. The annual Membership meeting is held the third Tuesday of January.
