HISTORY OF THE DUGGER
LIBRARY
The Dugger Public Library had its
beginning in the early 1900's through volunteerism---volunteered books
and librarian services. It was housed in 2 or 3 buildings on Main
Street.
Community fund-raising activities were held and community effort built a
new municipal building on West Main Street. The building was dedicated
on the evening of October 31, 1928. It is a two-story, tan brick
building and the present library is housed on the top floor.
Dugger Public Library has had 6 previous librarians, including Gertrude
Jefferies, Helen Hindman, Esta McLin, Maxine Myers and Nelle
Holder. Our latest retiree was Ruby King, who retired in the
year 2000.
