If you follow the Ten Sleep Branch Library on Facebook, (or Red Dirt In My Soul… or me!) you may have seen me post that tonight was the One Book Wyoming event at the library with Cat Urbigkit. Cat has children’s books and adult books and three were actually chosen for One Book Wyoming (which…

WLA-MPLA Video
The Wyoming Library Association and Mountain Plains Library Association held their joint conference in Cheyenne, Wyoming. While these photos didn’t capture all the fun I had, this at least gives some idea of what it was like! Enjoy! WLA 2015 from Carol Greet on Vimeo.
Not Enough Time
Wednesday saw me headed to Cheyenne for the Wyoming Library Association’s annual conference. This year it was held in conjunction with the Mountain Plains Library Association’s meeting as well. This year, we were FOUR! What a fun crew to go to a meeting! First night was an opening reception at Cheyenne Frontier Days Old West…
Ripple
First full day at the joint Wyoming Library Association and Mountain Plains Library Association meeting, and, as usual, it’s been enjoyable. Our opening keynote was Scott Ginsburg and he had us laughing and having “aha! moments” as well. My cohorts and I then split to attend various sessions, me, to storytelling, the legislative luncheon, and…
Wordless Wednesday – “Words”
“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…
Grasslands Exhibit
Tonight was Ten Sleep Library’s opening reception for the Wyoming Grasslands exhibit. It opened in Ucross last month, we’re the 2nd of 14 libraries in the state to host this for a month. I have been working on hanging the 41 photos, black and white and color, for a week! There were lots of trips…
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…
Upcoming
The sign I painted on the library door… Obviously our Open House and Silent Auction is coming up FAST! The bulletin board inside is decorated as A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens, so my Victorian lamp post served as my sign post. I’m still looking for a Dickens’ style top hat… I should just buy…
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…
