Elaine Mills Gives Back at Columbia Pike

Published: January 5, 2012

Ever wondered how much work it takes to get all those books, CDs and DVDs onto the Library’s shelves?

Elaine Mills knows. Two years ago, she decided to volunteer at the Columbia Pike Branch Library because she and her family have patronized the Branch for almost 30 years.

Elaine’s work includes checking items in that have been returned, preparing items to go to other Arlington Library locations, pulling expired items from the hold shelf, and special projects as needed.

Anonymous Donor Visits the Book Sale

Published: December 22, 2011

A Library regular turned into an Anonymous Donor at the Shirlington Branch Library’s book sale this week.

After observing another customer meticulously selecting books from the Friends of the Library Book Sale, she approached Library staff and asked to pay the other patron’s entire Booksale bill – anonymously!

Having been impressed by recent news stories of anonymous angels paying other people’s toy bills and layaway costs, we’re delighted that someone decided to do this at the Library!
