I Voted Did You?

On seven Saturdays from June through October, League volunteers will be available at Bull Run Regional Library, Central Community Library, Chinn Park Regional Library and Potomac Community Library to answer questions from citizens and to facilitate registration paperwork.
League volunteers will be available at the four libraries from 11:00 AM. to 1:00 PM on these Saturdays:
June 7, July 12, August 2 and 9, September 6 and 13, and finally, October 4. Citizens who have questions about voter registration are invited to visit the library and check with a League volunteer and, while there, check-out some books!
