Our newsletter is emailed monthly to all members of the Friends of Oakton Library. It includes Oakton branch and FCPL event information as well as a letter from the FOL president, news from the Oakton librarians and book/reading-themed articles.
Membership is open to all. Annual dues are $10 for individuals and $25 for families. To become a Friend of Oakton Library, follow the link on the home page. New members are always welcome! Please consider joining to help fulfill our mission.
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 Award for 2019 was awarded to Fay Fahs. Fay had been a long-time volunteer, working quietly to sort our nuerous donations, always dependable and pleasant to work along-side, and a willing cashier at our book sales. The Oakton Friends were greatly saddened by Fay's passing in May 2020.
Board meetings are generally held on the third Tuesday of most months at 7 p.m. in the Oakton Library meeting room; however, they are currently being held via Zoom. The annual Membership meeting is held the third Tuesday of January and will likely be held by Zoom in January 2021.
