Douglas County Library Joins Prospector
Published: July 10, 2017
The Douglas County Library system is the newest library to join Prospector. Douglas County Library was established in 1966 by the Douglas County Board of Commissioners who appropriated $5,000 for library operations. The following year, philanthropist Philip S. Miller and his wife, Jerri donated an additional $25,000 for library construction and the library opened in August of 1967. In 1990 voters passed the Douglas County Public Library District, which created an independent taxing district to fund library operations.
