Good morning, Abilene.

Square dancing graduates celebrated their special ceremony at the Mall of Abilene—friends built confidence and shared laughter after months of practice, and new lessons continue every Sunday at 2 p.m. for those eager to join in.

Abilene Heritage Square, once a school campus, was dedicated as the new home for the Abilene Public Library and Spark Science Center on Saturday, May 16.

The renovated site offers modern features and community spaces—preserving cherished history—for families and visitors.
