With a new year fast approaching, donors are asked to think of the Mary Riley Styles Public Library Foundation Trust as they make year-end charitable contributions.

The foundation is a 501 (c) (3) organization that helps support the City of Falls Church Mary Riley Styles Public Library, which was recently nationally recognized for its outstanding service for the third year in a row.

Money from donors to the foundation helps supplement the funding received from the city government. In recent years, contributors have funded the wireless networking capability at the library; purchased additional books, books-on-disc and DVDs for the collection; and paid for the prizes given to young adults who won the library-sponsored poetry contest. This past year it also provided money for the National Library Week celebration at the library and teen software and computer equipment.
