The list of “Things-You-May-Not-Know-About-Me” would probably begin with with the fact that I have a bachelor’s degree in anthropology. I actually worked as an archaeologist way back in the Before Time… so, you can imagine how I get excited about cultural things. For years, I’ve been a fan of a gentleman from the early 1900’s…

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…
More Work
I’m working more at the library. Its construction is moving right along, and we have many challenges to meet. We’re continuing the After the Bell program, though I’ve backed off on the detailed activities and settled for chess tournaments and the like! It is the future planning that is getting to us now… Will the…
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…
Party Time
Spent pretty much all day doing last minute preparations for the Ten Sleep Library’s Open House and Silent Auction. We had wanted to make window silhouettes, and I had stayed up until midnight last night drawing and cutting out some Grinchy figures. That meant a lot of taping and climbing on ladders today. We had…
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…
