Although the library’s 2007 free Summer Reading Program “Get a Clue @Your Library” winds up on August 3, free weekly Storytime presentations will continue to sizzle throughout the month of August. Children’s librarians will keep reading magic rolling during August with a puppet show and guest presentations about everything from mystery puppets to animal scat to birds of prey. Studies show that reading even a few books during the summer can help kids maintain the literacy skills they learn in school. The library invites kids ages 3 to 8 to join in the fun every Thursday from 10:30 to 11 a.m. in the Ordway Auditorium. Featured themes are:

Teton County Library offers open and equal access to information, literature and ideas.to encourage a lifetime of learning, to strengthen our evolving community, to inspire us all.
The Wyoming Arts Council believes that experiencing the arts should be accessible for all, including people with mental and/or physical disabilities, older adults, military/veterans, people living in institutions and those who lack access to the arts due to geographic isolation, cultural difference and economic hardship.
