“For the want of a nail, the shoe was lost…” I’m in Cheyenne, at the Wyoming Library Association meeting. This year it is held in conjunction with the Mountain Plains Library Association meeting. There are more librarians walking around here than you can shake a book at! Our Evening Reception was held over at the…

Small Town Library
Well, it’s over! Our big night at the library is over and done! Seems like I haven’t done anything else but prepare for this for WEEKS! We ended up with 139 items, which is pretty stinking good! I think our attendance was way down though, it seemed kind of empty in there to me, except…
Best Advantage
My last day before our Library Open House and Silent Auction. Did I get everything finished I wanted to?? No. There never seems to be enough time. But I’ll donate a calendar, a soapstone, and maybe even some honey if I can part with it!!! Then there’s this little item. These are made of local…
Every One
Holy cow! What a rocking day at the library today! Decorating, tons of patrons, school facilities guy, more decorating, organizing and setting up new items for the auction… refreshed the 6th graders on research methods… opening packages, updating library facebook and emailing photos… answering questions, a few moments of dusting, rearranging and cleaning up the…
Harvest Dinner
Another year. 101 raffle items. 6 bucket raffle items. 19 live auction items. Solid action from 5:30 til 7:30. Whew. What great community support! How great to live in Ten Sleep!
Good Books, Good People
Well, I’m down in Casper attending the Wyoming Library Association meeting. Internet has been spotty, with absolutely none in my hotel room. So here I sit, in the wide main hallway at 10:30 at night, typing away on my ipad. It is always an enjoyable meeting, with great ideas to take back to Ten Sleep…
Longmire Poster for Auction
Since we did this all day, you’d think I’d post about it… But instead… I’m going to write about THIS! This is a very unique AUTOGRAPHED Longmire Country poster that we are selling to raise funds for the Friends of the Ten Sleep Library. We now are a recognized charity on eBay, meaning that we…
Lovely Day
On this Valentine’s Day… I hope you shared your love with someone! Thanks to our patrons at the Ten Sleep Library, we had a LOVELY day!
Code Name Verity
The tears fell and I had to go in search of Kleenex. It was horrible. It was soooo good. I just finished a book that held me in anticipation and suspense for most of its pages. And oh, the ending. My goodness. The Ending. That’s the Best Thing about working in a library, you can…
Library Santa
What a difference a year (or two) makes… From this: Then this: To this: Merry Christmas from the staff of the Ten Sleep Library!
We Made It
Yeah. All that about good intentions… I really thought I’d blog last night. From a motel room via email. I had a plan! Then things got all switched around, and instead of staying and spending the night… my boss and I decided to come home. In the rain. On the back road. On the back…
Library Training
I was chosen to attend a workshop at the Natrona County Library in Casper today. This is the first non-school library I can remember. As a voracious childhood reader, I finally had to expand beyond the confines of the tiny school assortment, and hit The Big Time. As a sixth grader walking into this building,…
