Pick Up Some Dinner, Drop off Your Books

The Rapid City (SD) Public Library has made it easier for Rapid Valley residents and others on the east side of town to return their library books.

A new drop box was already filling up as library staff cooked and served free hot dogs Saturday outside Don’s Valley Market to celebrate the box’s installation. “I went over there and gave it a wiggle, and it’s already half full,” said Jason Walker, circulations supervisor for the library.

At least one commentator asked why the library couldn’t build more branches for this type and other types of service, but others were pleased with the addition of the new drop box.
