🍋📚 Last weekend, a group of amazing children in Headwaters ran a lemonade stand to raise money for the new Dripping Springs Community Library.🥤☀️

They kept their neighbors cool in the summer heat while pouring their energy into a great cause: supporting lifelong learning for everyone in our community. Through hard work, kindness, and a whole lot of lemonade, they raised over $600 and brought it straight to the library to present to our staff! 🙌❤️

Thank you to these young changemakers — your efforts are truly inspiring! What can you and your neighbors do to support the new library?
