Phèdre nó Delaunay gathered books, and scrolls from all over the world to research and learn everything she could to succeed in her great adventures and become the hero we all love. Do you, perhaps, hold a book that could help someone become a hero in a great adventure?
We will be collecting new and gently loved books at the Masque to donate to the Fairfax County Public Library. Who knows what benefit your books could bring someone?
Libraries are valuable resources in our communities and it’s important that we support them. After all, without libraries, how would Phédre ever have solved the mystery of the Master of the Straits and saved her dearest friend? Plus, isn’t this event based on a series of nine books (if you follow Phédre, Imriel, and Moirin – which you should – through all of their adventures)?
So, it is in this spirit that the 2020 Masque will be raising funds for the Fairfax County Public Library system. The FCPL consists of 23 branches – 8 regional branches, 14 community branches, and a branch dedicated to serving customers who have special accessibility requirements – serving the over 1 million residents of Fairfax County “through programming, community spaces, technologies, and collections of educational and recreational resources.”
Proceeds from ticket sales will go directly to the libraries and, in the coming weeks and months, you will be hearing from the Dowayne of Bryony House about some exciting fundraisers.
If you would like to make a personal donation to the libraries, you can do so by clicking the Donate Now button on the Fairfax Library Foundation homepage. You can add “Longest Night Midwinter Masque” in the notes if you wish. Select “FCPL” as your home library.
