The Greater Prince William (GPW) Little Free Libraries project has continued to move forward with the addition of a new partner, and the launch of our online map.
Our newest partner for the initiative is the non-profit group Write by the Rails, which is based in Manassas. The group is a chapter of the Virginia Writer’s Club.
There are several fun events going on this weekend in the area that you should check out.

According to Young, he did not seek out the role, but was nominated by a committee for the seat.
“Our nominating processes are fairly self perpetuating. Every year, a nominations committee gets together and seeks to recommend candidates…I’ve been on the board for a long time as a district representative, and was asked to be allowed to put up my name for nomination and I thought about it for a little while, and said sure,” said Young.
Deborah Campbell, a communications specialist for the county, has provided more information on the costs associated with the solar panels project.
More in a statement from Campbell:
Last week, two Democratic primary candidates for the Potomac district – Andrea Bailey and Dumfries Town Councilman Derrick Wood – met for a debate.
