After years of inviting after school kids to the Library we have to say that there are Updates to Youth Services due to COVID -19:

• Fewer computers available.
• Limited seating.
• “Hanging out” not allowed.

We still offer:

• Browsing and checking out material.
• Library staff to help.
• Tables for individual study.
• Tons of online resources.

New in the Planetree Health Resource Center. Planetree is a collaboration between Cody Regional Health, the Cody Medical Foundation and your Library. Current, carefully curated additions to that quiet corner of your Library just beyond the Reference Library – look left at the Coe Reading Room.

What a great day!!!

A tradition of kindness continues in the Cody library. Social distancing will be practiced. Please wear a mask.

Kids’ Summer Reading will culminate in a Kindness celebration. Drop by between 10 a.m. – 3 p.m. Friday, Aug. 7 on the west lawn of the children’s library.

Find out how many kindness tickets were earned for each project, receive a goody bag and tattoo, plus spot the library unicorn. Ruth Torrey sent two dollar bill bookmarks to give away. She and her late husband Peter have donated thousands of two dollar bills over the years. D.J. Shuman will create balloon art from 11 a.m. – 12:30 p.m.

Participants received tickets for reading, being read to and completing related activities. Those tickets were placed in receptacles for two Kindness Projects; Special Olympics of Wyoming, featuring our own Emma Foley, and the Cody Covid Relief Fund which is an interfaith organization formed to help local people struggling to pay bills during the pandemic.

Past kindness endeavors include the Park County Animal Shelter, Silas Johnson and Noah Rivers’ family medical expenses, the music park in City Park and the Cody High School band.

Teens congregated on the Bistro Patio Saturday Aug. 1. Prizes were awarded and a good time was had by all.

Story Time is Back! Stories, activities and dance all on the west lawn at the library or in Grizzly Hall if it rains. Story Time for all ages, 10 a.m., Tuesdays.  We are allowing for social distancing. Masks are still a good idea!
