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.

HCMGA Tree Sale
The Hays County Master Gardeners will host their annual Plant and Tree Sale in Dripping Springs on Wednesday, October 14, 2020 from 3PM to 6PM at Drippings Springs Farmers Market. This year the sale will feature native and adapted perennials, herbs and of course Texas Superstar plants that will actually thrive here in our hot Texas weather, unlike many of the plants you will find at the big-box stores.
HCMGA will also be selling ornamental & small trees and shade trees on a preorder only basis. Details and order forms are available on the HCMGA website. Please note, while the group remains optimistic, they cannot guarantee that this sale will occur as scheduled due to the uncertainties around COVID-19.
