A large gathering of residents and dignitaries met inside the San Marcos Public Library on Friday to celebrate the library’s completed renovation and expansion project.
A welcomed occasion after a “horrible” year in 2020, said U.S. Rep. Lloyd Doggett.
“What better place than gathering here this morning to bring our community together after a horrible year,” Doggett said. “And, as we reflect on that year, indeed, it’s important to reflect on how this library continued to participate in the community … This renovated library, of course, as we can see: bigger and better than ever. A testament to what can happen when people are dedicated to the wonder and the power of books and come together with patience to endure what was years of budgeting and planning, to persevere with the building through the pandemic.”
