The Voice of the Community Since 1909, Serving Moorcroft and Pine Haven, Wyoming

What's Happening at the Moorcroft Branch Library

Author and Wyoming Poet Laureate Eugene Gagliano visited us on May 9. The first grade classes from Moorcroft Elementary attended his presentation along with several home school families and other patrons. 

Gene read from several of his books including the newly released My Veggie Friends. He used several volunteers including Miss Lacey during his skits explaining how to create a story. 

AnitaBeth Irving won a basket full of Gene's books and items donated by The Buckin Farmacy & Crazy Hippie Woman's Artisan Market. 

We are gearing up for an amazing summer reading program! Young readers can read books to win prizes as they Travel the World @ Your Library.

This summer's program will feature fun activities introducing games, food, language and animals from destinations around the world. Due to donations from area businesses, we will have many opportunities for our young readers to win amazing prizes.

The LEGO Guy will be returning during summer reading to share his knowledge of all things LEGO.  Registration begins May 31 and ends June 13. Stop by the library to sign up.

We were very excited for the Spring Fling Clean-up set up by the Moorcroft Chamber of Commerce. We had a group of local kids help us clean out old shelving at the library. 

Miss Lacey braved the rain and helped the dedicated volunteers help keep Moorcroft beautiful. 

We have a group of volunteers looking to revive the Moorcroft Friends of The Library Group. They will be meeting Friday, May 19 at 10 a.m. 

Contact the library or email [email protected] for more information.
