This Week at Your Library

The library will be closed Fri., Dec. 24, for Christmas and Fri., Dec. 31, for New Year’s. We are still doing curbside and delivery if you would prefer not to come inside. We have numerous magazines available for a two-week checkout. BARNYARDS & BACKYARDS is a quarterly magazine produced by the University of Wyoming Extension. Their goal is to provide practical, useful user-friendly information on rural living topics. BARNYARDS & BACKYARDS features articles written by natural resource experts on Buildings, Composting, Domestic Animals, Gardening, Wildlife and Wildfire, to name just a few!

Displays: Jean Adams’ bird collection. If you have a collection you would like to share with Sundance, please let us know! We have two locking cases that we would love to put your collection in for a month or so!
