Friday, April 23 - Saturday, April 24
10 a.m.-6 p.m. - Open to all

The Friends have held a book sale to benefit the Arlington Public Library since 1976, when it was an annual event. According to the August 1977 "Newsletter to the Friends of the Arlington County Library" (available in the Virginia Room), the May 1977 sale raised $1600 over two days. Proceeds from the Friends that year went to fund purchase of the Columbia Historical Society Records, juvenile programming supplies, Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys books, magazine subscriptions for Central and the branches, and more. Today, money earned through the Friends continues to support Library programming and collections, including our One Book - One Community program, Arlington Reads.
Volunteers are still needed for the April sale - call 703-228-7684 or email arlington.booksale@yahoo.com to find out how you can help!

New Arlington Blog
Check out ARLnow.com for an interesting new Arlington, VA devoted blog.
According to their About Us page...
Launched in January 2010, ARLnow.com is the place for the latest news, views and things to do around Arlington, Virginia. Started by a Pentagon City resident who has spent the past several years working in local TV news, ARLnow.com seeks to distinguish itself with original, enterprising, up-to-the-minute local coverage.
This is an experimental site that tries to get away from the formulaic, aggregation-centric approach to hyperlocal news that’s currently being pushed by several large media companies.
We'd say it is a mixture of news, events and snippet of gossip. Lots of good stuff with some juicy tidbits to boot.

Yawn
The blog has been oh so boring lately...hasn't it? At least that's what we've been hearing. So...what's new?
-AV has chosen a new Board Member to replace Brandie Davis...and the winner is Carolyn Amesse.
-The new Grounds company has been edging away...so if you see your sidewalks and trees being dug around and fiddled with you'll know it is because Blade Runners has started their new contract with us.
-We hear there are piles of chairs (a.k.a. parking markers) still in limbo since the snowstorm. Go get your chair!
I guess we are waiting to hear if the pool hours will be changed this season? There was a lot of chatter about that last year and lengthening the pool season as well. Any updates from anyone about our pool status?
