Captain Underpants says “Drop Your Drawers” to help support our school resource centers!

This November, the library is asking people to donate new underwear and socks for Family Resource Centers in Boyle and Danville Schools to use for their students. Our goal is to collect 500 new underwear and socks for our community! Bring your donations to the library’s lobby to put in our Captain Underpants mailbox, or drop them at the donation bins in local schools. Learn more!
