Craig Johnson donates books to Story Library!
When Craig came to Story for the Open house, he brought with him, over 100 books to donate to the Story Library! Craig was a member of the selection committee for the Edgar Mystery Award, and after reading the more than 400 books submitted for the award, he decided to donate the books to small Wyoming Libraries. Story Library was one of the lucky recipients! We hope you will stop in and see this marvelous new collection of mysteries! Here are just a few of the great books he donated! |  |  |
Author Event at the Story Library with Craig Johnson!
We were thrilled to have Craig at the Story Library on Dec. 17th! He read his newest Walt Longmire Christmas Short Story to us, talked about his travels (to France) and told stories about his writing adventures! We appreciate, so much, that he took time out from his busy schedule to stop in and see us! Check out some photos of Craig and some of the patrons that came to spend time with Craig Johnson! |  |

We just recently purchased his entire set of books in the CD format also for those of you that like to listen to books! Craig let us know that his next book will be coming out May of 2010 and it's entitled Junk Yard Dogs. (Sounds like one we won't want to miss reading!)

Memorial Donations
We received donations to the Story Library in memory of our dear departed friends, Thelma and Roger Bent Sr. Both, sadly to say, passed away last summer. Some of the items we've purchased with the memorial funds are listed below. We hope you'll be able to stop in and check out these great books, (both large and regular print), audio CD books, MP3 Playaways and DVDs.

Wonderful work of art donated to the Story Library!
Michelle Havenga, a local fabric artist, who just happens to be the Children's Librarian in Sheridan, has donated a great piece of artwork to us! The adorable "doll" is all set to snuggle in with her stack of books, her stuffed kitten and her bunny slippers! Isn't she cute?! Thanks soooo much to Michelle, for this wonderful addition to our library! |  |
