What's happening at the Moorcroft Branch Library

The Moorcroft Friends of the Library will be meeting on Tues., Nov. 12 at 4 p.m. The purpose of this group is:

• To be of service to the library where needed;

• To intensify awareness of library services;

• To increase use of the library's educational, cultural and recreational resources;

• To stimulate financial support and to encourage gifts, endowments and memorials; gifts may be encumbered or unencumbered. Trust fund gifts will be administered by the Crook County Library Foundation for the Moorcroft Public Library account.

• To make gifts and physical improvements of the building, with the approval of the Crook County Library Board.

The current Friends of the Library began in May of 2023. Since that time, they have helped upgrade furnishings throughout the library including new meeting room chairs, new desks and new shelving in the youth services area of the library.

Everyone is welcome to attend the meetings and new members are greatly appreciated. All members will be eligible to vote. There are two types of membership:

• Active: Active members will help with the volunteer work in the organization.

• Patron: Patron members have a choice of active or inactive participation in the organization.
