What's happening at the Moorcroft Branch Library

Sign up for a free library card at the Moorcroft Branch Library in September and get a free treat from us! All new adult patrons will also be entered into a prize drawing.

Join us for an intriguing program via video presentation in the upstairs meeting room on Friday, September 15, at 7 p.m. as John Waggener presents the history of the 77-mile stretch of I-80 that has been dubbed the “Snow Chi Minh Trail”, which is steeped in tragedy, controversy, myth and even conspiracy.

We’ve Got Spirit, Yes We Do! We’ve Got Spirit, How About You? Homecoming is the week of September 25-30 and Moorcroft Elementary and Moorcroft Secondary have fun schedules for Spirit Week including Thursday’s Game Day.

We have a drop-in craft scheduled for Friday, September 22, 1-4 p.m. Everyone is invited to stop by and prepare for Game Day. 

Bring a shirt, hat, water bottle, pants or any other item you choose to decorate. We will have heat transfer vinyl options for fabric, permanent vinyl for water bottles, fabric paints, fabric markers, beads and other items available as well as headbands and bandanas for a different price.

Visit us online at https://www.crookcountylibrary.org/moorcroft-branch.html to see all the fun we have scheduled. You can also follow us on Facebook. Please stop in or call the library at 307-756-3232 for more information or to sign up for upcoming events!
