OUR VISION: NEXT GENERATION LIBRARY FOR UVALDE
For over a century, El Progreso Memorial Library has been a cornerstone of knowledge, culture, and community in Uvalde. Today, we are proud to launch the Next Generation Capital Campaign to transform our library into a modern, welcoming, and innovative hub for residents and visitors alike. This campaign will modernize our facilities, enhance programming, and provide lasting support for our staff and community.
