Meet Damascus

April 25, 2019 by mcplteam

Damascus Library is located in Montgomery County’s Agricultural Reserve, an initiative created in 1980 to preserve farmland and rural communities.  The branch started as a bookmobile stop (1952-1973), then moved to a storefront in the Damascus Centre shopping plaza (1973-1990).  Its current location at 9701 Main Street is in a building designed to invoke a farm barn. We share our building with the Damascus Senior Center, and on our grounds are a daycare center and the Damascus Heritage Society Museum.

Damascus is known for its close-knit community and small-town feel.  In fact, it was listed as #31 in Money magazine’s September 2015 article “America’sTop 50 Best Places to Live.”
