This patron filled her Passport to LCPL in a single day! Dana and her dad started at Ashburn Library at 10:40 a.m. and completed all 10 branches, finishing at Sterling Library at 2:48 p.m.

In their own words: "This challenge not only educated Dana about all the libraries in the system but gave her an understanding of areas of Loudoun County we have never visited and how to plan for achievement when you have a goal."

That's exactly what the Passport to LCPL is all about. Congratulations, Dana from Ashburn, you earned it! You still have time to complete your own passport. Register for Summer Reading and visit all 10 branches by Sunday, Aug. 16, to earn an additional entry for the grand prize drawing.

CUSTOMER ALERT: All LCPL branches will serve as Cooling Centers starting at 11 a.m. on Wednesday, July 15.

If you need to get out of the heat, go to your local library!
