Dr. Seuss Celebrations on Read Across America Day

National Reading Month is kicked off on March 2 with Read Across America Day, which also happens to be the Birthday of the beloved author, Dr. Seuss. All three of your Park County Libraries plan to celebrate on Tuesday, March 2 in different ways; all with a Dr. Seuss theme.

At the Cody Library, kids are encouraged to stop by any time of the day, from 9:00 a.m.- 6:00 p.m. for fun games, activities, surprises, and visits from The Cat in The Hat. The Cody Kids’ Library will also have a special Seuss-themed Story Time at 10:00 a.m.

The Meeteetse Library plans to celebrate by reading Dr. Seuss books to students all week long.

The Cat in the Hat will also visit Story Time at the Powell Library. He will be available for parents to take photos with their children from 11:00 – 11:30 a.m. and 3:30 – 4:30p.m. The Powell Library is asking that you call the desk at (307) 754-8828 or stop by to sign up for a time slot.

February 12, 2021 by Melinda Soto Leave a Comment

Join your fellow readers at the end of each month by participating in Silent Book Club at the Cody Library.

Silent Book Club was started in 2012 by a few friends “reading in companionable silence” at local gathering spots and has grown to include official chapters all around the world.

Club participants will meet at the fireplace at the front of the Library to spend a few minutes introducing their current reads to the group and then they will spend the rest of the hour silently reading in any comfortable corner of the Library.

All ages are encouraged to join us at the Cody Library from 3:30-4:30 on the last Friday of each month. There is no sign-up necessary to participate. If you can’t meet in-person, email [email protected] for a Zoom link, and join the fun virtually. Start your weekend off right with time spent reading!
