Continuing the Crook County News Since 1884

This Week at Your Library

The library will be closed Friday, January 1, for New Year’s Day. The library doors are open. We are still doing curbside and in town home delivery if you would prefer not to come inside. In compliance with the statewide mask order, masks are now required to enter the library. If you do not have a mask, one will be provided. Children under 13 MUST be accompanied by an adult. Two computers are available for adults. Teen and Children’s computers are not available. Displays: This month on display, we have Violet Smith and Melissa Mitchell’s Christmas Village. We also have Seashells by Josie Pearson. Josie is cleaning out, so if you would like one or more seashells, stop by the library and let one of us know.
