Building Update:
We are all so excited about the progress of our addition and remodel project!  We have reached the home stretch!  Our beautiful library is bigger and better now.  We are in the process of finishing up a few last things and moving back into our original space.  We hope to be back open to the public with limited services next week.

Our Library Foundation continues to fundraise for the final costs of the project.  Thank you to everyone who has supported us financially.  If you would like to donate to help us reach our goal, please feel free to contact the library for more information.  One hundred percent of the donations to the Dallas Center Library Foundation benefits this project.

Any donations can be made to:
