Connected Care Seeks Children's Books, Fairfax City

Press release from the City of Fairfax:

09/18/2020

Fairfax City Connected Care child care program is looking for books — new purchases and gently used books for readers ages 5-12 — for the newly launched Connected Care Lending Library.

Student access to books may be limited because school libraries are closed, so Fairfax City Connected Care is creating an on-site lending library for readers in the Connected Care program.

Check out the Connected Care Amazon Wish List: just add books to your cart from the wist list and they will ship directly to Connected Care staff for circulation. Click here for the Amazon Wish List: https://a.co/1eEkJOW

Gently used books also are welcome for the Connected Care lending library. To set up a non-contact drop-off donation, please email connectedcare@fairfaxva.gov.

Information: connectedcare@fairfaxva.gov, 703-385-7858.

Please note: Fairfax County Public Libraries currently are open to the public during the pandemic with express curbside pickup and in-person library access. Click here for more information: fairfaxcounty.gov/library . We support the library and encourage its use by city residents — however, we understand that some readers may not be able to access public library services during reduced hours, and are supporting reading and readers on-site for Connected Care participants.
