Surge in COVID cases, staffing challenges prompt Fairfax Co. libraries to close 2 days weekly

Starting this weekend, libraries in Fairfax County, Virginia, will be closed two days a week.

The only exception will be the Access Services Branch at the Fairfax County Government Center, which will maintain its regular Monday-through-Friday hours.

Libraries will operate during their normal hours Tuesday through Saturday.
