Join us at 1:00 p.m., Wednesday, June 19 for the summer reading Teens Beneath the Surface “Shark Party”. All persons between grades 6 and 12 are invited to join the fun. We will have popcorn, cupcakes, trivia to accompany watching the movie Jaws. Don’t miss the opportunity to get your photo swimming with the sharks! Unless you are too scared!
Debbee Keener’s new three-dimensional work is on display in the Biblio Bistro at the library. Enjoy the art while sipping some coffee and eating a treat or lunch. The Bistro is open M-F, 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. in the Cody Library. Look for the Cafe sign.
Debbee paints and sculpts plaster on a concrete fiber board base in a technique she developed herself. She inherited loose gem stones from her aunt and is incorporating them into her paintings. Debbee’s helliconia diptych features five garnets.
To see more of Debbee’s work, visit the Cody County Art League on the curve near the Buffalo Bill Center of the West.

The World’s Strongest Librarian by Josh Hanagarne is enjoyable for not only librarians but regular people too! (Put a smiley face after that.)
Hanagarne describes his Mormon upbringing and development of Tourette Syndrome with grace and good humor. The condition, which causes almost unbearable tics, challenges every part of his life, but he earns an undergraduate English degree and a master’s degree in library science. He works as a librarian in the Salt Lake City Library, a big city place with all the interesting occurrences that accompany such an institution. He and his wife persevere through miscarriages, an attempt to adopt, and eventually have a son of their own. Josh worries that his son may someday develop Tourette’s. Continue Reading…
To go along with the “Beneath the Surface” theme of Summer Reading, teens experienced panning for gold in an undisclosed location. (They’ve been sworn to secrecy.) Select these links to Flickr and Facebook for pictures. Thanks, David Herrick and his friends for showing the teens the science and the fun of gold mining. According to Teen Librarian Shelly Waidelich, they didn’t find a lot of gold but maybe enough to buy a hamburger. Could that be incentive enough?
Come to Nia taught by Diane Ballard on Wednesday, June 12, noon-12:35 p.m. in Grizzly Hall. Nia, which stands for Neuromuscular Integrative Action, combines martial arts, dance arts and healing arts. Please bring your own mat or a towel.
