The charter meeting of the Friends of the Pohick Regional Library was held in March 1988. The organization was granted 501(C)(3) status in 1998. The Friends view the book sales not only as a way to provide revenue for the Library, but as a service that is truly appreciated by the community. The Friends view their role as partners with the staff of the Pohick Regional Library, Library Administration and the community.

Mission Statement

The purpose of the organization is to maintain an association of persons interested in libraries and to cooperate with the Fairfax County Public Library in developing public library services and facilities for the Pohick region.

Our primary purpose is to support the programs & activities of the Pohick Regional Library by providing:

• Fund educational & recreational activities.

• Sponsor programs of interest to the community that the library would not otherwise be able to offer.

• Purchase equipment for the Pohick DIY Room (our “Maker Room”aka the “POD”).

• Fund a variety of periodical subscriptions. 

• Purchase a state of the art 3D printer to boost support for Pohick’s active public 3D printing effort.   

• Award undergraduate, graduate, & staff development scholarships through the Fairfax Library Foundation.

• Sponsor “Fall for the Book” & Summer Reading Program.
