But most importantly, thank you to everyone who has made these 135 years possible.

To the generations of library board members who have devoted their time, leadership, and vision to guide the library through changing times—thank you.

To the librarians and staff, past and present, who have dedicated themselves to serving our community—thank you.

To the City of David City and Butler County, thank you for your continued support of the library. Your investment in library services helps ensure that our community has access to resources, programs, technology, and a welcoming place to gather and learn.

And to the patrons who have walked through our doors, checked out books, attended programs, supported fundraisers, and shared their love of learning, thank you for keeping the library strong and flourishing. Your support is what keeps the library going and ensures that it remains a treasured community resource for future generations.

For 135 years, the David City Public Library has been more than a building—it has been a place of discovery, connection, and community. We are honored to celebrate this milestone with all of you and look forward to many more years of service.

We can’t wait to celebrate with you on Tuesday, June 30th! 🎈🎂📚
