Food for No Fines: A Season of Community Giving

In the spirit of community and generosity, Park County Libraries are excited to announce a meaningful shift in their annual tradition. While the libraries have bid farewell to overdue fines, they are keeping the tradition of giving alive through the Food for No Fines campaign. This initiative encourages patrons to contribute to the well-being of fellow community members through food and monetary donations. Here’s how you can participate and make a positive impact this holiday season.

Cody Library:

The Cody Library is open to receiving donations until December 16th. We welcome canned or packaged dry foods in good condition for people and pets. Additionally, consider contributing non-food items like toilet paper, blankets, pet toys, and soap. Please note that we cannot accept homemade, home-canned, or expired items. Your donations in Cody will have a direct and positive impact on Cody Cupboard and the Park County Animal Shelter.

Powell Library:

The Powell Library is open to receiving donations until December 16th. We welcome canned or packaged dry foods in good condition for people and pets. Additionally, consider contributing non-food items like toilet paper, blankets, and soap. Please note that we cannot accept homemade, home-canned, or expired items. Your donations in Powell will directly support Loaves & Fishes.

Meeteetse Library:

The Friends of the Meeteetse Library are accepting cash donations until January 2, 2024. These donations will be dedicated to the Meeteetse Senior Center.

While cash donations are warmly welcomed, it’s important to note that they cannot be used to forgive amounts owed for lost or damaged books. We remain committed to providing excellent library services while fostering a culture of giving within our community. Let’s come together to make a difference in the lives of our neighbors, ensuring that everyone has a warm and nourishing holiday season. Your generosity matters, and we thank you for being part of this meaningful endeavor.

Attention Patrons: The Powell Library will be closed April 23-May 5, 2024 while we move into our temporary location in the Homesteader Building at the Park County Fairgrounds. All Park County Library System patrons can continue to place holds/request items, but please understand your hold may be delayed due to the closure. We look forward to seeing you at the fairgrounds in May.
