This was first posted 10 years ago, October 16, 2015. Having authors come visit Ten Sleep is one of the most enjoyable parts of my job! I enjoyed my time with Scott Werbelow two days ago and then this is what popped up in my history. Cat Urbigkit, you are missed and loved by those…

Hunter Fest
Tomorrow is opening day of hunting season, so that means today was Hunter Fest. Free lunch. Raffles and items for sale… And, of course, our special table… And our special guest… Scott Werbelow, author of “Son of a Poacher” series. (Book IV out soon!). Buy one or all, you won’t regret it!
Harvest Dinner
Not the same ol’ Harvest Dinner… This year, with the new school building and its smaller accommodations and dwindling attendance, we decided to change things up. Instead of the big dinner we normally provided, we went with a spud-tacular baked potato bar, salad, and homemade pie. Our Friends of the Ten Sleep Library was there…
Library Snowball
With the new month of October begins a very busy time for the library. We’re decorating for fall then Halloween… our big Harvest Dinner with raffle and silent auction… an author visit with Scott Werbelow “Son of a Poacher” (for any outdoor person, it’s a rollicking trio of books)… book discussion… adult craft night… then…
Good Conference
I’ve spent the past few days at the Wyoming Library Association conference in Casper. We were lucky enough to listen to Shamichael Hallman, author of “Meet Me at the Library”. Then there was Mychal Threets, who teams up with PBS and promotes libraries with viral TikTok videos… I didn’t get a pic with Rebecca Hass,…
Throwback Thursday: Collapse, v.2.0
This was so fun and exhausting and TEN YEARS AGO! Collapse. That’s what we finally did about 4 this afternoon… after zinging from the opening reception of the Wyoming Grasslands exhibit into final work on our float and supper with Craig and Judy Johnson at the Red Reflet Ranch yesterday and today’s early start to get those last minute details on…
Sit and Paint
We had a fun time at the Ten Sleep Library’s “Sit and Paint” the other day. We watched a Bob Ross video on YouTube and attempted to re-create it. It was our first oil painting class and we learned many things. I’ve never played with oils before and it is quite the process! We all…
Author Craig Johnson
Once again, author Craig Johnson visited the Ten Sleep Library. Over 80 people attended his synopsis of his latest novella, Tooth and Claw. He also read his Christmas short story entitled “Starter’s End”. Novels and Longmire merch were available for purchase. Fancy Christmas cookies and hot chocolate loaded our back room. We’re one of the…
Reminder
Wrapping presents, making candy, watching Christmas Chronicles 2 with Lacee and Reagan, followed by a third place showing by the librarian team at Trivia Night. Just an average before Christmas day. Just thought I’d remind you… I have a few calendars for $20 still available… And, for those of you local…
Library Class
I taught a tie dye class for adults at the library Friday night. After researching some amazing artists on YouTube (there are some crazy talented people out there), I chose to do an outline of symmetrical shapes or animal heads in class. We used just the more inexpensive tie dye kits on pillowcases and bandannas….
Foam Party
oh, yeah. We had a Foam Party at the library in the middle of this busy week.
Summer Reading
The summer reading program is in full swing at the Ten Sleep Library and I do program one day a week. The other two part time librarians do one day each, as well, so we have a three day a week program. The theme is “Adventure Begins at Your Library.” One girl is doing Tall…
