This Week at Your Library

The Library will be closed on Monday, November 11, for Veterans Day. NOVEMBER BATTLE OF THE MILITARY SERVICE BRANCHES FOOD DRIVE: We are conducting a food drive to help stock the shelves at the Crook County Food Pantry before the holidays. We will have bins set up in the library with the name of each branch of service on them. Please bring in non-perishable food items and place them in the bin of the service branch you served in or your favorite branch. We will also have the bins at the high school for the Veterans’ Day Concert on Monday, November 11, at 7 p.m. The bin with the most items will win, and we will announce the winner in December.
