Starting on Monday, February 5, the Access Services Department of Central Rappahannock Regional Library will be housed at Howell Branch, 806 Lyons Boulevard, Fredericksburg, 22406. Access Services Librarian Babak Zarin and Access Services Assistant Katie Neal will be joining the Adult Services staff at Howell and administering the Talking Books and other accessibility programs from there.
Access Services will continue to be open for in-person visits at Howell Branch Monday through Thursday, 9-1, and by appointment.
