Today, Patch was working at the Library and couldn't help but buy a 2,700-page Webster's Dictionary ($4) and two highly acclaimed books - "The Corrections" by Jonathan Frazen and "The Prize" by Daniel Yergin (.50 cents each).
"The Friends of the Lorton Library use the proceeds from book sale to support the branch with magazine subscriptions, programming support and additional copies of books for all the children who visit the library," said branch manager Barbara Schrantz.
