Check Out More Than 20 Things From Our Local Library!

It's Library Card Month in Fredericksburg, Spotsylvania and Stafford, VA

By Jenny Sites September 26, 2024

We are lucky to have a great library system in Fredericksburg, Spotsylvania, and Stafford. We thought we'd take the opportunity to highlight some of the more unique items the Central Rappahannock Regional Library (CRRL) has available.

Here's what you need to know:

  • We have 15 library locations (including satellite locations) so there's always a spot near you. The library will transfer books and items between branches so that you can pick them up at the location near you. Find a list of locations here.
  • As of 2023, the CRRL is fine-free.
  • Use the website or download the app
  • Library cards are FREE!  Don't have a library card?  Sign up HERE 
  • With your library card, you can:
    • Check out books and other items
    • Request a hold - choose the book(s) you would like to check out and tell them which branch. They will pull the book and email you when it's ready for pickup. 
    • Check out an e-book
