Fairfax Library Foundation

We have big news, Fairfax! The Fairfax Library Foundation is one of the charities participating in the fundraising challenge with A Community Thrives, part of the USA Today Network.

For the next four weeks, we are crowdfunding for the STEAM Wagon -- a “one-stop shop” geared for youth ages 0-18, but will serve residents of all-ages living in low-impact areas of Fairfax County, bringing the tools and resources for STEAM-oriented learning directly to our neighbors. With a network of non-profit and community partners collectively operating the STEAM Wagon, participants will benefit from a safe and creative pop-up space where they can “walk in” with nothing more than an open mind, and “walk out” with a STEAM project of their own design, thereby opening the doors to further STEAM exploration.

Together with Fairfax County Public Library and Fairfax County's Neighborhood and Community Services, you can help us make the STEAM Wagon a reality by making a gift on our crowdfunding page today!

(By the way, check out the awesome sample mockup of a STEAM Wagon created by Citizen X Design!)

The books were ordered, the librarians and book fair chairs were ready to go, but we didn’t have any volunteers…Please help us make the book fair a success for all students! Many shifts are available and we are grateful for any help you can provide! Volunteer dates run from Oct 19-26. High school or college-aged students are invited to volunteer as well.
