Join us Monday, June 3rd from 10:00 AM - 2:00 PM for our Summer Kickoff Party! There will be snow cones, coffee, a petting zoo, face paint, an inflatable obstacle course, and a whole lot of fun! All of this is free (all attendees will receive one, free, small snow cone) and open to the public. You do not need to have a Library Card to participate in the fun!
Our party will be held in the Library Parking Lot. Due to this, all parking will be held across the street by the baseball fields. There will be
very minimal parking spaces available in the front of the building for handicap, elderly, and patrons with quick pick ups or drop offs.
Want something a little calmer? Perhaps a little later in the day? Join us for our Adult Summer Kickoff from 5:00 PM - 6:00 PM. Coffee, snacks, and the Hill Country Ramblers! All are welcome and the event is totally free!
We hope to see you there!

In 1983, a group of volunteers banded together with the mission to raise funds for a free-standing library. This was to become the Friends of the Dripping Springs Community Library, which is still going strong 36 years later.
At this time the library served double-duty as the high school and community library. Members of the group were determined to have a dedicated, independent library in Dripping Springs. In June 1998, their hard work paid off and the library opened in its current location.
That same year the Friends of the Dripping Springs Community Library, Inc. incorporated as a 501( c ) ( 3) nonprofit charitable organization. Its mission: to promote the library’s value, encourage its use and help sustain its vibrant role in the community.
Today, in response to the dynamic growth of the City of Dripping Springs and the surrounding area, our group of members continues to expand. We raise money and volunteer for the library, supporting its varied events and projects. Get involved! More information here
