"We have one life, one shot at all the glorious things of life, and we walk about constricted, apologetic, afraid. We have so little time; we have so little space upon which to spread our love and our talents and our kindness. Run toward life fulsomely and freely."            ~ Tennessee Williams

SOUTH COUNTY LIBRARY PROJECT -  Survey Underway!

Our community survey, in Spanish and English, is now available.

We’ve gotten over 30 responses so far and we hope that is just the start.  Please tell us what you’d like to see in a library here in South County.  Think big—it’s not just about books!  Libraries these days can be important community centers that offer all sorts of services and opportunities beyond checking out books.  Borrowing tools, learning how to make things with a 3D printer, exercise class space— there are so many possibilities.  What is your dream for our community?

Submit a survey by May 15th and get a chance to win prizes— Lajitas zip line trip, Cottonwood groceries, or pizza at Long Draw.

You can fill out the survey at the links below, and look for folks handing out paper surveys around town and at the Post Office in the days to come.   Tell your friends!
