IMPORTANT MEETINGS FOR THE FUTURE OF FAIRFAX LIBRARIES

UPCOMING OPPORTUNITIES FOR PUBLIC INPUT ON FUTURE OF   
FAIRFAX COUNTY PUBLIC LIBRARIES



Public input is absolutely essential as we go forward in the struggle for our libraries . Folks need
to show up and speak up at all the public meetings which will be held.

Otherwise the Library Administration may try to just do minor adjustments and go right ahead with
their existing plans.
