Tuesday, January 13,  11a PT:  Learning Live: Kickstart Summer Reading with a Festival!
Two years ago, the Fairfax Library Foundation (FLF) partnered with Fairfax County Public Library (FCPL) to create a new community event: a free Children's Summer Reading Festival to promote the library's existing Summer Reading Program and combat learning loss during summer vacation. Hear how the Foundation used the Festival and its support of children's literacy as a fundraising theme throughout both years, and obtained multiple new sponsors and donors as a result.
