Library Fund-Raiser Brings in $86,400
The Fairfax Library Foundation’s recent fund-raiser - “Platinum Jubilee!” - raised $86,400 for library programs and services, organizers said.
On Sept. 12, the Foundation hosted the reception and live auction at the George Mason University’s Mathy House, home of the university president Alan Merten and his wife, Sally. It was held in honor of the library system’s 70th anniversary and the 15th anniversary of the library foundation.
“The enthusiastic support of everyone who helped make this event such a success demonstrates how much the community values its public library,” said Susan Thornily, chairman of the Fairfax County Public Library board of trustees. She also paid honor to Sally Merten and Sushma Shenoy-Saluja, the co-chairs of the celebration.
