Dacusville Community Library

I know a man that seems to have the answers to many questions, I asked him how does he know so much? He responded by saying, " I read."

Do you enjoy reading, Dacusville has a new library located in the Community Center. 

"For the community, by the community" 

Volunteers

The new library was established by many community volunteers that worked tirelessly cleaning the facility, then collecting and stocking the books. The volunteers collected over 4,000 books; Mt. Carmel donated 2 truck loads and retired teachers donated 600. The volunteers are still collecting books, they ask that if  you donate please let them be new or slightly used good books.

The library opened for the first time on Saturday, June 7th from 9-12.  Many visitors (70-80) came out to the grand opening.  The library kicked off their Summer Reading Program for the children, they had snow cones, ice cream truck, hay rides, popcorn, Dacusville Fire Department, and  story time. 

Story Time every Saturday at 10:00 am

It is very important that children read during the summer months to prevent the "Summer Slide".

The Library is open each Saturday morning from 9-12 in the old Dacusville Elementary School Library at the Community Center. The library offers many great volunteer opportunities as well.

  

A Mother's Heart

A mother finds out the news she is expecting a baby, she makes preparations for it's arrival. The day is here when she welcomes her child into the world.  She holds it in her arms for the first time and realizes that her heart is now laying on the outside of her chest.

She watches as her child grows each day, hitting each mile stone....eating solid foods, rolling over, sitting up, and walking. Time for the child to start school, kindergarten, first, second, third, etc. She watches as the child develops and uses their talents and skills to do things they enjoy. The mother has watched as the young child is now an adult ready to spread their wings and fly.

The mother is proud, yet fearful when their child shares with them that they want to serve our country in the military.  The day is here, the mother watches as her child leaves trusting in her heart that her child is making the right decision.  And then she gets the news that no mother wants to hear, her child was killed in battle.

Now imagine that the child belongs to you, and you are the mother or father.


This is to the families that deal with the loss every day.....Thank You!

The Past Meets the Present

From this.....

To this.....

The General Store was created out of necessity; country stores , or general stores got their start during the colonial period for the many pioneers who lived outside urban markets.  Many owners of these mercantile began as roving peddlers and once they had accumulated enough capital and inventory, they often established permanent locations in settlements where there was a need and likely profit. In many instances, the country store would be the first business in a new settlement, and sometimes the town would take its name from the store itself. The post office was generally located in the General Store.  And who was the potential postmaster that requested a post office and name?-The proprietor of that very same establishment.  Sometimes, the owner was also the town clerk, served as Justice of the Peace, or even an undertaker- American History Old-Fashioned Country 

Stores. 

The first Dollar General store opened in Springfield, Ky. on June 1, 1955, and the concept was simple-no item in the store would cost more than one dollar.  The idea became a huge success and other stores owned by J.L. Turner and his son Cal Turner Sr. were quickly converted.  By 1957, annual sales of Dollar General's 29 stores were $5 million. 

J.L. passed away in 1964. Four years later, the company he co-founded went public as Dollar General Corporation, posting annual sales of more than $40 million and net income in excess of $1.5 million.  In 1977, Cal Turner Jr., who joined the company in 1965 as the third generation Turner, succeeded his father as president of Dollar General.  Cal Turner Jr. led the company until his retirement in 2002.  Under his leadership, the company grew to more than 6,000 stores and $6 billion in sales. 

Today, the company is a leading discount retailer with more than 11,500 stores in 40 states. -Company Facts/Dollar General Newsroom

Dacusville will have 3 of the 11,500 Dollar General Stores; currently Dacusville has a Dollar General store located on Earl's Bridge Rd. and on Hwy 183. The new store is located at the intersection on Hwy 183 and 135.
