Our great sponsors rock our world - thank you!

Just picture this, if you will.  A veritable army of volunteers descends on the Reston Regional Library with good cheer and boundless amounts of energy.  They work tirelessly to prepare beforehand, to run the sale, and clean up later.  We have great sponsors who help provide supplies for these volunteers to work, and to feed them so they don't have to ever leave.
