Book Renewal and Book Drop

by Leave a Comment

Due to the uncertainty of these crazy days of coronavirus, we have been updating due dates to renew your children’s books for all Meeteetse School students. We are happy to renew your books as parents and citizens of Meeteetse, as well. Please let us know if you need something renewed and we will update it for you!

I do want to reassure you that we will not be charging fines for late items due to covid-19. BUT… you are still very welcome to return books in the book drop outside the building at any time. We retrieve the books each morning, sanitize them, and then place them into a “quarantine” for a few days to allow any germs or anything else to die off before they are reintroduced into circulation .

We are still available Monday through Friday from 8 AM until 4 PM for curbside service. Just call ahead, message us on Facebook, comment here, or email us and we will be happy to get your books ready for you. They will be placed into a bag with your name on it and set outside the library door for you to pick up at your chosen designated time.

Happy Reading!

Howdy Meeteetse,

We wanted to let you know that Linda and I are doing our best to be available for you during this uncertainty. One or both of us will be available at the library for curbside pickup and to answer phones from 8 AM-4PM Monday through Friday. We will NOT be available on Saturdays or evenings. We can help you by checking out requested books for you if you call ahead or reserve them online. We will put them outside the door in a bag with your name on it to pick up when you arrive. We can also help you with any questions about our online services by phone or via our facebook page or comments here. Please let us know if you need anything! Keep reading and stay safe, Meeteetse! – Sincerely, your friendly librarians!

* Free * Mental Health Resources

by Leave a Comment

Park County Library is doing a five part mental health series in conjunction with the Christ Episcopal Church in Cody. They have already discussed navigating mental health services and suicide. Next up will be adolescent mental health, advocating for mental health, and lastly, living well.
This series is intended to give you more resources to utilize to protect your own mental health and those you love. We want you to know that you are NOT alone, you are cared for, you have value, and we want you to thrive – not just survive.
That all being said, here are a few resources for you in our next series of website tutorials. Many of these resources are FREE for your use and point you in the direction to get the help you need, should you feel you need it.
Please take advantage of this opportunity and remember, your library is a safe place and you will never be judged here – you are welcomed with open and caring arms!

1. Beginning at the website homepage for the Park County Library, I clicked on Online Resources up at the top of the screen.
2. Then I clicked on Planetree Health Resources, Mental Health. (Note also the other available resources for health and wellness).
3. Clicking on Planetree brought me to this blog post about available in-library and county mental health resources. Take the time to familiarize yourself with these various sources of help – you are sure to find something that is useful to you.
4. More from the blog post – this explains a bit more about Planetree. This is a section of the library in Cody that has it’s own classification system to allow you to look up various health and wellness topics, specifically those pertaining to mental health.
5. The Planetree Classification system is separate from the regular library classification system. This handy guide found on the website lets you know where to find what you are looking for.
6. A reminder about the five part mental health series hosted by the Park County Library in conjunction with Christ Episcopal Church at the Cody library. Be sure to check this out!

Universal Class

by Leave a Comment

Libraries are places for lifelong learning. A place to continue to grow your skills and knowledge base. For research and exploration. Today’s tutorial is about exactly that!
We have explored some on gowyld.net. Now we are going to explore our own Park County Library website. Did you know that you can take online classes FOR FREE through the library?
These classes don’t count for college credit but you can print certificates saying you have completed them. Some are just fluffy fun and some can actually help you with practical real life scenarios! Everything from financial information, first aid and babysitting safety, candle-making, second languages, baking, and much much more! Take a look!
And remember to thank your local Friends of the Cody Library group for underwriting this learning opportunity for all of Park County! Such generosity should not be overlooked!
1. I went to our webpage and then clicked on Online Resources.
2. Down near the bottom of the page, it offers Universal Class. Please note all of the other available resources and take some time to explore them… but not until after THIS tutorial, because this one is extra cool…
3. There are suggested classes but there are also many others to browse through – just pick a topic. You can find almost anything!
4.You will need to register to sign up for a class. It is free to register and you do it using your library card number. Create an account on Universal Class – username, password, and your library card number.
5. Then it will take you to this dashboard. Yours may look different as you pick out various classes.
6. For the purpose of this demonstration, I chose a fun fluffy class – Candle Making 101! I love scented candles but I hate that they get used so quickly… so why not learn to make some of my own?
7. Of course, I had to find out exactly what this class entails and what I will get out of it if I do complete the course. I can print a certificate if I finish and there is a syllabus available with details on all course lessons. If I do end up making an actual candle, I will let you know!

Good luck and let us know how you are continuing to learn!
