DOTHAN ALA: The Dothan Houston County Library System (DHCLS) Board of Trustees voted to discontinue the Ashford Library Capital Campaign and library renovation project.  The board considered a number of factors in reaching this difficult decision, including the fact that costs for the project escalated from an original budget of approximately $954,000 to over $1.6 million.




Despite the discontinuation of the project, DHCLS remains committed to serving residents through the existing Ashford Branch.  DHCLS will also continue providing bookmobile services that span all of Houston County, particularly rural areas and small towns.



Established in 1949, DHCLS today serves a population of approximately 107,000 residents through its main library, two branches, a bookmobile, and an extensive selection of ebooks and digital resources. In FY 2023, DHCLS welcomed over 312,000 visitors, and DHCLS patrons borrowed over 201,000 items, including books, audiobooks, DVDs, and ebooks.  DHCLS offers a variety of innovative services, such as the Library of Things, a Seed Library, and Story Walks at Kiwanis Park and Walton Park. The library also offers programs for children, teens, and adults, ranging from story times, craft programs, technology help, and job search assistance.
