The Voice of the Community Since 1909, Serving Moorcroft and Pine Haven, Wyoming

What's Happening at the Moorcroft Branch Library

May 6-12 is the 105th Children’s Book Week. This is one of the longest running national celebrations of books for young people. 

Anyone anywhere can celebrate Children’s Book Week. This year, we invite you to join CLUB NO RULES, JUST READ.

How do you join? You read! That’s right…all you need to do is read something during the week and you are in! 

Read a book, magazine, audiobook, comic, newspaper, poem, instruction manual, or… Read for five minutes…no, no, 30 minutes… no, no, an hour. Ok, just read for however long you can/want. 

Read alone, with a friend, to a friend, to a group, in silence in a group or take turns reading with a group.  Read a book you have never read or read a book you have read too many times to count. Read the same thing as everyone else, or something different.

Pick the weirdest place you can think of to read or the most comfortable place you can think of to read. Read outside…or inside.  Read upside down or read an upside-down book. Read fast, then slow, then fast again. Above all, HAVE FUN!

Our Pie and Planning series continues on Tuesday, May 14, at 1 p.m. The next session is ‘A More Meaningful Service.’ Vicki Kissack, advance funeral planner for Gillette Memorial Services, will provide information on pre planning services. 

Stop in and check out the Circle of Light Photo Project! We have partnered with Rocky Mountain Lions Eye Bank to share this collection of photographs taken by people who have received corneal transplants to restore their sight.

Stop by and check out our new ‘Serve Yourself Shelf’ which includes craft kits, puzzles, board games and so much more. Call (307) 756-3232 for more information or to make reservations for upcoming events.
