NOW- Library Porch-Side Service
The Dripping Springs Community Library is now open using modified porchside service. “During this time, library staff will be in place from 8am to 4:30pm, Monday through Friday. This means that you may put print books, DVDs, and CDBs on Reserve by logging into your library account. You will get the usual notification when the library materials are available for pickup. Bring your library card or driver's license to show when you come to pick up Reserves between 9am and 4pm, Monday through Friday. Please call us when you are at the front door. We appreciate your understanding that after 4pm, we will be cleaning and pulling library materials for the next day and unavailable for delivering your materials to the door. If you are coming to the library, we strongly encourage and appreciate that you wear a mask or face covering and practice social distancing.” DSCL is located at 501 Sportsplex Drive; their telephone is (512) 858-7825.
