Electrical Transformer is In!

Jaynes Company has been working with Empire Electric, and the transformer has now been installed!

What a turn-around - Empire Park, the property that used to be owned by Empire Electric is now owned by the Mancos Public Library; we're building, and we now need Empire's services!

Preparing for Footing Walls

The foundation footings of the new library have been completed, and Jaynes Construction is now installing rebar and preparing to pour the footing walls. These walls are scheduled (weather permitting) to be poured this Friday, 10 October.

Construction has Officially Begun

The lot has been cleared, and footers formed! This week, the Jaynes Corp. has been pouring the footers.

Little People Storytime Visits the Building Site

Today the children of MPL's Little People Storytime sang songs and listened to stories about construction vehicles. Then... a trip to the new library building site! Enthusiasm was high on the walk down Grand Avenue and over the footbridge. Once at the building site, the children were so excited to see the big, loud, and very real working machinery.

During the next nine months, regualar visits will be made by the Little People Storytime group to the building site.

Clean Out the Old and Usher In the New

The Jaynes Company has started preparations for building! The building site is being cleared of debris, and there is now a fence around the site.

Construction, At Last

The Jaynes Company, the contractor of the new library, has moved to the building site and will start construction soon!

You'll also find things a bit different at our current location; we've added new display space at the library entrance. Rotating exhibits will feature books, magazines, and videos for all ages. This month's exhibit is "Green Building and Construction". Visit the library to see some examples of our new building, information on green building, and construction in general.

Care for Your Pets and Donate to the Library Building Project!

The area's newest veterinary clinic, Dolores Animal Hospital, has volunteered to donate 100% of your price on dog and cat vaccines to the Mancos Public Library Building Project.

All you have to do at the time of your pet's vaccine appointment in Dolores, is to mention to Dr. Kevin that you want to donate to the Mancos Public Library Building Project, and you can make your check out to us instead of the Animal Hospital!


This generous offer applies throughout the month of August to all dog and cat vaccine appointments. Give Dolores Animal Hospital a call at 970.882.7100 to help both your pets and your library.
