I started my journey with DCPL at the Toco Hill branch. This is were I learned about true public service and how to deal with the difficulties of working for non-profit organization. The patrons who will come to the new and improved branch will be the same and the books will return, but will that feeling of a small, community library ever be there again? I know the staff of the new facility will enjoy the elbow room and the patrons will be excited about the new building, however, a bit of nostailga has been extinguished in my heart. I hope someone dug up the Iris I planted. This is a little sad for me to see. I started my journey with DCPL at the Toco Hill branch.
