Fiction
Snowbound by Blake Crouch — After his wife Rachel’s car is found with its window smashed in, Will Innis flees town with their daughter, fearing he’ll be blamed for Rachel’s mysterious disappearance. Five years later, an FBI agent tracks him down and tells him his wife isn’t the only one who disappeared — so did her sister. And she believes she knows who did it.
The Search by Nora Roberts — Fiona Bristow narrowly escaped a killer eight years ago. Now she leads a peaceful life training search and rescue dogs on a small island. Then the killer shows up again, and it’s up to Fiona — with the help of her dogs and Simon Doyle, a cabinetmaker who’s had his eye on her — to escape for good.
Kings of the Earth by John Clinch — Vernon, Audie, and Creed Proctor are three brothers who work their farm in rural upstate New York, largely cut off from the world but content. But when Vernon is found dead — possibly asphyxiated — suddenly the world comes to them, and their world starts to unravel. more »
History
The Meeteetse Library was started in the 1920s and housed in a small barracks building. In 1938 the library became a branch of the Park County Library System and moved into a room in the old Meeteetse School building. Following World War II a building from the Heart Mountain Relocation Center was moved to Meeteetse and used for the library until the new high school was built. In 1961 the Library Board and School Board entered into a contract allowing for use of the present site as a branch library. Over the years this cooperative effort has benefited both entities. As budget situations have diminished, the school has evolved into a more active participant to support the library in providing service to Meeteetse residents.
