Community grows stronger through partnerships, and we are grateful for people who help make that happen. Thank you to Darrell Doepke Realtor, for stopping by the Library! As one of our valued Community Partners, Darrell continues to help connect people, ideas, and organizations that make our community such a special place to live.

Partnerships like these allow us to expand opportunities, create meaningful experiences, and continue bringing programs, learning, and connection to our community. We believe great things happen when we work together, and we are excited to keep that momentum going.

Now we’re counting down to Community Fest in October, where neighbors, nonprofits, local businesses, and community leaders will come together to celebrate everything that makes our community thrive. Thank you, Darrell!
