The library buzzes with activity during the summertime. From reading programs to concert series and MarioKart hangouts to story time, there’s something for everyone at the Dripping Springs Community Library (DSCL) over summer.
DSCL serves as a center for lifelong learning for more than 52,000 Dripping Springs residents; with usage rapidly increasing, expanded facilities and resources are essential. The library’s “Beyond Books, Building Community” campaign seeks community support to raise $5 million for a new library, ensuring it remains a center for education and engagement for generations to come.
The new library is located behind the current building, near Dripping Springs High School on Mighty Tiger Trail, and will be four times larger than the present library. Its 13,000-square-foot children’s floor will feature a makerspace, meeting rooms, a dedicated story time area, an outdoor play space, and a story walk for exploring the beautiful surroundings.
The library is a hub for early education, offering an abundance of resources and engaging programs designed to foster a love of learning and literacy from a young age. DSCL recently brought on new children’s librarian Olivia Ochoa who, along with the entire children’s staff, is making reading so much fun! In fact, DSCL was voted “Best in Children’s Entertainment” in Dripping Springs Century News’ “Best of Dripping Springs” annual competition.
