The Purpose of DBPL at DBPL:

Thank you to our I Heart Literacy sponsors!
We raised over $450 through our I Heart Literacy sales this year! All these proceeds go toward the purchase of new books to put into the hands of Geary County community members to encourage literacy in our community and thereby strengthen the community. Thank you to all of you who made this possible! Special thanks to our local business sponsors:
Coach's Neighborhood Grill and Bar Frontier Spirits Marco's Pizza RC Kennel Subway Be on the lookout for our next fundraiser:
