The American Red Cross faces a severe blood shortage due to the number of blood drive cancellations caused by the Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak. Healthy individuals are needed now to donate to help people counting on lifesaving blood. To support this effort, the American Red Cross is having blood drives at two CRRL locations:
Porter Branch
2001 Parkway Blvd, Stafford, VA 22554
Thursday, April 16, 1-7 p.m.
Howell Branch
806 Lyons Blvd, Fredericksburg, VA 22406
Thursday, April 30, 10 a.m.-4 p.m.
Stafford County and CRRL are working with the American Red Cross to support the medical community and help alleviate ongoing blood shortages, while ensuring that necessary precautions are in place to protect staff and donors. Visit

During the blood drive, only the branch meeting room will be open; the rest of the building will not be accessible. Library materials should not be returned to any library branch or book drop until the library reopens. Late fees will not be charged.
