• This is an amazing exercise in the future development of Durham Public Library. NAACP will definately partnership with you.  Austin Kerr - Education Chair NAACP
• I'm so pleased to have dozens of people from throughout the Durham community, and about a dozen staff members, working to visualize and crystallize ways to build a great community through the library services we are creating together.  We're all gaining much better knowledge of what this community needs as we build a plan.  Thank you all! - Skip Auld, DCL library director
