Continuing the Crook County News Since 1884

This Week at Your Library

We are still doing curbside and in-town delivery if you would prefer not to come inside. We have numerous magazines available for a two-week checkout. LOG & TIMBER HOME LIVING is the favorite resource of log home enthusiasts seeking innovative design and decor ideas, sound construction advice and companies, builders and craftsmen who make log home dreams come true. Whether you’re in the market for a log, timber or hybrid home; looking to decorate, maintain or augment the one you have; or restore a classic cabin, LOG & TIMBER HOME LIVING is the magazine log and timber home fans trust. Thanks to the generosity of numerous locals and their families, we have some very special book collections: Barry floyd’s fly fishing collection, Sally Roger’s art collection, Mary Garman’s Custer collection, Gaydell Collier’s horse collection, Irene Reinecke’s art collection, the Anna Jean Rayburne collection and the Gaydell Collier collection. Stop by to see these fabulous books! Some of the books are available for checkout, but others must be read here in the library.

Displays: Joan Christianson’s Campbell Soup Kids and Marcy Havner’s rocks. 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! BARN HERE, a traveling exhibit from the Wyoming State Museum, will be on display in the library through April.
