I spent all day decorating the library… and I didn’t even come close to finishing! The new addition and new decorations all left me with no plan… just a faint vision of snowflakes and icicles. I will take pics when I finish… for now I will just share this…

Libraries Rock
We look forward to our Wyoming Library conference every year. This year included Debra Fox, “Finding Your Moxie”. Various sessions on a wide variety of topics… my favorite was the Escape Room/Break Out session. You have to figure out clues to unlock your box… learning along the way. Then I won an Advanced Reader Copy…
R.E.A.D.
Not a surprising post from a part time librarian maybe. READ. We help people do it all the time! But those letters on the bottom of our New Books display? I did that! I bought some small book letters on my Texas trip, and with my scroll saw from Christmas, I was set to make…
Crazy Library
It’s been crazy at the Ten Sleep Library. Our new addition is complete. The work has begun for us! I’m putting in extra hours… moving shelves, moving books, repeat, repeat, repeat! Here is our little Facebook Live video we did today… I hope that link works! But I’m very tired and ready for bed! I…
Library Remodel
I was called into work today… Our library expansion has reached a point that books needed moved. All of our books will eventually be reorganized, but these needed to be moved out of the building for the next six to eight weeks. But first, to keep our records on the computer straight, each book needed…
Some
Some of this… Some of that… Teaching this… And getting ready for this! Yeah. Whew.
Christmas Prep
I’ve been going in to work these past few days, putting in extra hours decorating and prepping the library for our Open House and Silent Auction on December 4th. It’s a major fundraiser for the Friends of the Ten Sleep Library, and with our expansion underway… there will be lots of ways for us to…
Off the Ranch
I’ve spent the past couple of days off the ranch, attending the Wyoming Library Association’s conference in Sheridan. As usual, it was enjoyable in many ways. We stayed at Sheridan College, one of the seven community colleges in Wyoming. It has a very beautiful campus and an adorable “neighborhood” of “villas” for student housing. Each…
Library Talk
The Top Ten Gunfights of the West by Marcus Huff was presented by the Ten Sleep Library. Marcus lives in Ten Sleep, which is Very Lucky for us… former editor of True West magazine, consultant to History Channel, etc., etc., etc. He has quite the resume! If you’ve ever watched the tv show, Wild West…
Thanks
Whew. Lotsa work and tons to think about, but one more Silent Auction fundraiser is over. We had a great turnout. Thank you, Ten Sleep, for all you do for our little library.
Copper Fun
I ignored my house in order to finish up some copper jewelry for the library auction. I always have such high hopes of getting so many things made for the auction… This was all I accomplished today. Plus I tried to make some marshmallows… and I think I’ll try again in the morning! It’ll all…
Library Night
Monday night is our Open House/Silent Auction at the library. I’ve been decorating… trying to make that silk purse out of old Christmas decorations/sow’s ear. We have no budget for making things pretty… and so I tear into all of our boxes, remixing and modifying… and I chose our colors as green, white, and gold….
