  • Only 1 graphic novel
 

*You may add books to your favorites list that you want to read later.

What do I take to school for pickup?
  1. A mask
  2. Library books to return
  3. Ask for your books by last name, first name.
  4. Student tells staff member their name and staff will place books on table for contactless pickup.

COVID19 Precautions

We are taking many precautions to prevent the spread of COVID19. 

  • All books will be quarantined for 7 days after being returned to Glen Forest. 
  • Everyone must wear a mask.
  • Everyone must stay 6 feet apart from others. 
  • Staff will handle the books. Students are not allowed to pull books from cart.
 

As new information becomes available, we may change our practices to keep everyone as safe as possible. 

 

LEAP Program

WHAT IS LEAP?

Starting October 1, 2020, all students (PreK-12) in Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) will have LEAP accounts at FCPL. These public library virtual accounts will allow students to check out up to three items at a time for six weeks each (no renewals).

WHY IS LEAP AWESOME?

  • A student only needs their name, not a physical library card, to check out materials.
  • LEAP accounts never charge fines or fees.
  • A student can have a LEAP account as well as a standard library account (application online and in library branches). Standard accounts allow users to place holds on materials and access FCPL’s digital resources such as eBooks and databases.

HOW DID LEAP HAPPEN?

LEAP began as a pilot in one school pyramid in 2019. FCPL and FCPS launched this program as a partnership to ensure that students would have access to library materials even if they don’t have a traditional library card, or if that card has been blocked due to fines.

HOW CAN I FIND OUT MORE?

Ask a teacher or librarian at your school, or call or visit any FCPL location.
