Hays County considers Wimberley Village Library expansion plan

The expansion and remodeling of the Wimberley Village Library was brought before the Hays County Commissioners Court Tuesday for possible support.

Dell Hood, a member of the library’s board of trustees, asked the court to consider issuing a Certificate of Obligation for $2.25 million to help the library keep abreast of growth in the Wimberley Valley.

“The county would issue the certificate but the debt would be ours,” Hood said, explaining the plan would add 6,500 square feet to the existing facility and would use remodeling “to create space and to better use the entire facility in providing residents of Western Hays County services and programs they repeatedly tell us they want.”
