New Patio
At
Nokesville Neighborhood Library

Library Director Dick Murphy, Supervisor Wally Covington, Nancy Hedges

     Library System Director Richard W. Murphy, Supervisor Wally Covington, Supervisor for the Brentsville District, and Nancy Hedges, library staff member recently gathered to view the new patio now available at the Nokesville Neighborhood Library. The patio was paid for with proffer funds with the assistance of Supervisor Covington.
     "The patio was a much needed addition to the library and enhances the neighborhood and the community", said Library Director Richard Murphy. Supervisor Covington noted that, "since the library is a community center in this area, our patrons needed a place to read, relax, and enjoy the outdoors." For program information for Nokesville Neighborhood Library, please call 703-792-5665 or stop by to see the new patio and visit the library!

    Library branches have limited Federal tax forms available for pick-up. The Commonwealth of Virginia, however, no longer supplies tax forms to libraries, so Virginia tax forms must be ordered by phone or printed from the appropriate web site.  For more information, read or print our tax bookmark today!
