Gifts will be delivered or available for pick-up at a DCL location starting May 18.<\/p>\n \u201cThough graduation for the Class of 2020 will look a bit different this year, it remains a milestone in the lives of our county\u2019s young adults. We want them to know that DCL celebrates them, and celebrates with them,\u201d said Amber DeBerry, Director of Community Engagement at DCL.<\/p>\n The gift includes a handy toolkit that grads may find useful as they become more independent, along with a gift card for a gift from a local small business. DCL has partnered with local businesses in support of this graduates gift program, as well as to support these local small businesses, using funds previously earmarked for library staff development.<\/p>\n
