A time capsule was buried in at newly opened Haymarket-Gainesville Community Library.
Students from Mountain View Elementary School gathered for an assembly on Friday to celebrate the opening of the new library. There, Gainesville District Supervisor Peter Candland joined school and public library officials who all worked to collect items for a special time capsule for burial at the library.
The Friends of the Gainesville Library also provided materials for the time capsule. The Haymarket-Gainesville Community Library opened its doors to a crowd of 200 people on Thursday Oct. 22, 2015.

The new library was the first to open since the Bull Run Regional Library on Ashton Avenue near Manassas opened in 1994. Later this fall, the Montclair Community Library will also open to the public.
“This library will serve as a hot spot classroom for pure learning not only today but well into the future. We are fortunate to have this library right in our neighborhood, and I am excited to see the community utilize this amazing library. I think of those future generations who will also benefit from this remarkable and incredible resource. This time capsule will speak to those future generations, and I look forward to burying the time capsule with a piece of Haymarket/Gainesville history to be discovered by those citizens yet to come,” stated Candland in a press release.
Mountain View Elementarys students placed five posters, one for each grade (first through fifth) about their favorite books into the capsule. The Friends of the Gainesville Library placed a book from 1915, information on the library groundbreaking, information on the library ribbon cutting, and information on their organization.
The Haymarket-Gainesville Community Libary is located at 14870 Lightner Road near Haymarket.
