The Foundation is a private 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation that exists to raise funds for the Fairfax County Public Library and is committed to its mission statement of seeking financial gifts from individuals, organizations, foundations, businesses and corporations who have a vested interest in the quality of life of Fairfax County. Our History Fairfax County has prided itself on offering a first-rate Library system that is proactive and community service oriented. In the early 1990s, when financial resources were strained and resulted in the loss of approximately 100 staff positions and the closing of three Library branches, Library management decided it was time to "think outside the box" in order to maintain the quality of service Fairfax County residents expected and to offer new programs and materials. A major initiative was the establishment of the Fairfax County Public Library Foundation, Inc. in 1994.
