Book Sale Success
The 2026 Spring FOL Book Sale is in the books!
We had a great turn out of shoppers throughout the four day event, with even traditionally slower periods having steady foot traffic. From set-up to clean up, we had 57 volunteers contributing 397 hours, including 6 "first timers" and 7 teens earning service hours. The effort earned just over $16,000, just a few hundred shy of a record. A big THANK YOU to all our patrons who donated books, volunteered, or shopped - many did all three! The proceeds of our sales help fund Oakton Library needs and the purchase of materials that circulate to benefit all FCPL users.
Mark your calendars for our Fall Sale October 14 - 17!
