September is National Library Card Sign-up Month! We are celebrating by asking YOU to design a new library card for your favorite local library! Each winner will see their design featured on a library card that the library gives out to those who sign up for a new card. The new design will also be available for purchase for $1 to replace an existing card. Each design will be a limited print of 200 cards each, so they will truly be limited edition. Submissions must be submitted at the Main Circulation Desk or emailed to carissad@dcpl.info. Designs must be 2 inches by 3 inches and have space for the Dodge City Public Library Logo.
DESIGN FORM / FORMULARIO DE DISEÑO: Design Contest Form / Formulario Del Concurso de Diseño
Staff will vote on their 3 favorite submissions from each category, then the public will vote for their favorite design in each age group to determine our winner. We can’t wait to see what our patrons come up with!

El nuevo diseño también podrá comprarse por 1 $ para sustituir a un tarjeta existente. Cada diseño se imprimirá en una tirada limitada de 200 tarjetas cada uno, por lo que serán realmente de edición limitada.

IditaRead is a reading initiative associated with the Iditarod Race in Alaska, which begins in Anchorage and ends in Nome.
DCPL will participate by encouraging patrons to work as a team. We have set up 5 “checkpoints” within the YA and Adult sections of the library. Each “checkpoint” has an activity that each patron can complete. Once you have completed an activity, place it in the IditaRead box located at the main circulation desk. All activities are worth 10 miles on our Trail Map located behind the main circulation desk. You can complete as many activities as many times as you like! Help us get our team to Nome!
The mini-clinic scheduled for today, Monday February 13th, from 1-4pm has been cancelled. We are sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused.

Give back to your community by signing up to volunteer time, even a small amount helps, with one of the many non-profit organizations participating.

We have several displays being featured here at DCPL for the month of December.
First up we have a lovely display celebrating the National Day of the Horse, December 13th, 2022. This display was put together and proposed by Morgan Wenzl. Morgan has been a horse enthusiast for as long as she can remember and had graciously allowed us to display a portion of her Breyer horse collection. You can see this display and read more about Breyer horses, the National Day of the Horse, and Morgan in the entryway display case here at DCPL.
Next, we have the artwork of the students at Dodge City High School!
These amazingly talented students have loaned us their incredible artwork for the entire month. Instructors Claudia Enciso and Denise Salem put together this display for DCPL and we could not be happier! Come check it out in the glass display cases in our Adult Non-Fiction section.
And our final display features the holiday themed artwork of Bobbi Brown! Bobbi is a local artist who has taught painting classes at the Carnegie Art Center in downtown Dodge. She has displayed a selection of her works here for the holidays. Come see her work in the display case in our Multilingual section.
Would you like to put together a display for DCPL? We are currently looking for displays for the 2023 calendar year! Contact Cindy Thomson at cindyt@dcpl.info or call 620-225-0248 ext. 217 to sign up!
