Continuing the Crook County News Since 1884

This Week at Your Library

The library will be closed Monday, January 18, for Martin Luther King Jr. 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: If you have a collection that you would like the world (or at least Sundance!) to see, please let us know. We have two locking cases that we would love to use to display your treasures!

Library Programming: Help support your library and purchase a mask with the word “READ” on it in multiple languages! $5.00 each, available at the library. ALL IN-LIBRARY PROGRAMMING HAS BEEN POSTPONED. Meetings scheduled for now: CROOK COUNTY LIBRARY BOARD meeting Thursday, February 4, at 1 p.m. in Sundance or online. CROOK COUNTY LIBRARY FOUNDATION BOARD meeting Wednesday, January 20, at 5:30 p.m. in Hulett or online. FRIENDS OF THE LIBRARY meetings have been postponed until further notice. There will not be a Valentine’s Traveling Bake Sale this year, due to the pandemic. TURTLE STORIES: We have a TV running videos on Black Hills and South Dakota history from the Journey Museum and Learning Center. Come in and watch these short and fun educational videos! We will feature one per day.
