Friends of the Jacksboro Animal Shelter are looking to build a new shelter.
It’s a needed thing, as a recent agreement between the city of Jacksboro and Jack County officials has given Animal Control Officer Mike Booher the ability to go out in the county to pick up animals. The present shelter has room for about 20 dogs.
Friends of the Shelter President Starr Kinder has been involved with the shelter for 20 years. Kinder told Jacksboro Lions Club members, July 28, the new shelter will be built in front of the old shelter on U.S. Hwy. 380 West, at an estimated cost of $500,000.
During last Monday’s meeting, Gladys Ritchie Memorial Library’s Lanora Joslin asked Jacksboro city officials for more funding during this upcoming fiscal year.
Joslin opened by giving the history of the library, speaking about a promise made many years ago that if the library stayed close to the school, it would always remain open. In Joslin’s mind, those days seem to be gone. Last year, the county donated $20,000, the city of Jacksboro $5,000 and the Jacksboro ISD another $4,500.
“I’ve begged all over town,” Joslin said. “The state has suggested we close, but I’m not giving up.”
Joslin spoke that while COVID-19 dealt the library some blows in personnel, it opened some other doors with people not knowing the library was open. Joslin and her volunteer husband, Kenny, helped people with getting on computers to fill out forms for such things as unemployment and IRS tax forms.
PERRIN – Perrin-Whitt Consolidated Independent School District taxpayers could see a slight decline in their tax rate for the next tax year.
