El Paso Public Library Dorris Van Doren Branch Gets Glamorous Makeover

Talk about a pricey makeover! Pricey, but very much needed! 

Thanks to a whopping $960,000 makeover courtesy of the 2012 Quality of Life Bond, The El Paso Public Library Dorris Van Doren Branch was able to open their doors again to the public and eager book lovers were able to check out the makeover in person at the grand opening celebration.

This makeover has been months in the making for the west El Paso library and it includes a fresh coat of paint, new flooring, and exterior cladding.

The infrastructure also got a major upgrade, and the interior areas have expanded, giving book lovers more room to enjoy doing what they love, READ!  

A spokesperson from the City of El Paso called this library a "transformative facelift" for the Westside community. 

This “glam up” is not just about books; it's about creating an EXPERIENCE. 

Book lovers will be able to enjoy story time events, computer classes, free computer & WiFi use and for a small charge, guests can print or copy documents.

You can check out the renovations for yourself by heading over to the Dorris Van Doren Branch which is located at 551 East Redd Road.
