In other positive news, DCPL would like to extend a sincere thank you to a friend of the library for a very generous donation. With the 3-digit temperatures, we were caught by an unforeseen emergency with the breakdown of the library air-conditioning system. After several phone calls to different technicians, all techs made the same recommendation. Nothing else but to retire the 28-year-old system!
Thanks to the extraordinary $35,000 donation from a friend of the library, we are celebrating new comfort and relief for all DCPL patrons! This gift is a fantastic example of community and generosity in action.
Dimmit County Public Library, a NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION
Continuing our updates, by popular demand and coming to DCPL very soon, is "Night Watch", a Pulitzer Prize-winning novel. A New Yorker Best Book of the Year! From one of our most accomplished novelists, a mesmerizing story about a mother and daughter seeking refuge in the chaotic aftermath of the Civil War—and a brilliant portrait of family endurance against all odds.
Stay tuned for more good books coming this Fall to Dimmit County Public Library!
"Learn to Read!" "Read to Learn!"
