Marcia's Message
Dear Franconia Neighbors and Friends,
Earlier this month, I had the opportunity to visit the new Kingstowne Regional Library, located on the second floor of the Franconia Governmental Center. Walking through the library brought back wonderful memories of taking my daughters to the library during the summer and signing them up for the summer reading program. Those visits gave us time to discover new stories, learn together, and enjoy a simple outing close to home.
That same spirit of discovery is alive throughout our community this summer. Fairfax County Public Library’s Summer Reading Adventure, “Unearth a Story,” invites readers to explore dinosaurs, paleontology, archaeology, and hidden histories. Families with children in pre-K through sixth grade can also participate in the BOOK IT! Summer of Stories program through August 31st. Children who reach their monthly reading goals can earn a free Personal Pan Pizza from a participating Pizza Hut location.
There are many other ways to enjoy the remaining weeks of summer. Families can explore the wooded trails and wildlife at Lake Accotink, Huntley Meadows, and Hidden Pond, or attend a free concert, children’s show, cultural performance, or outdoor movie through the Fairfax County Park Authority’s Summer Entertainment Series, which continues through August 22nd.
A new school year will be here before we know it, and I am excited about all the opportunities ahead for our students and families. To help you prepare, I have included several important resources and reminders below.
Kind Regards,
