As we go into August many of our summer activities are drawing to an end and we begin preparing for school activities. Here at Dodge City Public Library there are still summer time events taking place. New books to check out and special programs to attend are among a few of these events. On August 28th author Sherrilyn Polf will discuss and sign copies of her new book A Matter of Trust.

Special activities will be taking place at the circulation desk. We are going to be doing some remodeling so watch for something new there. During this time you may be routed to another area of the library to check books out. Please watch for signs when you enter the library. This is a new and exciting time for the library. This project is being made possible in part by donations from individuals and businesses in the community. If you would like to donate talk to any of the library staff.

Remember, Dodge City Public Library is your resource for information and casual reading. Be sure and stop by soon and watch for new happenings at the library.

Please drop us a line or send an email to me at cathyr@dcpl.info. If you have not been to the library lately, stop by and see what is new here.
