–Ray Bradbury

Friends of the Library Hosts Choc-

olate Lover’s Dream

Friends of the Library held one of their annual

fund raisers, Chocolate Lover’s Dream, on February

11th. Many people came to choose from some amazing

chocolate desserts, fill up a plate, and enjoy eating.

Thank you Friends of the Library for holding this fund

raiser, and thank you, Thermopolis for supporting it so

well!

Photographic Exhibit at the Library

Plan to visit the library to see Wyoming Grasslands,

photographs by Michael P. Berman and William S. Sutton. The

exhibit will be in the library until March 15.

Book Club

Book Club will be meeting on March 16 at 7 PM. The book they

will be reading is The Walking Drum, by Louis L’Amour. This

historical novel is not a western, but is set in the Middle Ages in

Europe and the Middle East.

“In the nonstop tsunami of global information, librarians provide us with floaties and teach us to swim.”

–Linton Weeks

FRIENDS OF THE LIBRARY HELPS TO

MAKE OUR LIBRARY EVEN BETTER!

Friends of the Library has helped the library again! They have purchased a

new projection screen that will be permanently mounted in the Storytime

room. This will be wonderful for guest speakers, and for Dinner and a Mov-

ie! They have also purchased a sound bar for the library. In the past, we have

borrowed one when we needed it. A new HP laptop was also purchased by

Friends of the Library! It will be used by guest speakers and library staff. We

at the library can’t thank the Friends enough for all their generous support!

The Foundation was

created in 1976 by a

Through donations,

memorials and fund-

raising, these volun-

supported special

needs of the library and

established a perma-

nent endowment.

After serving on the Library

Foundation for 14 amazing years,

will be impossible to replace

Foundation members. Please

ested.

We have more than 100 new DVDs available for checkout this month, thanks to

DINNER AND A MOVIE

Plan to join us for Dinner and a Movie

on March 9th at 6:00 PM. This month we will

be showing A Quiet Man starring John Wayne

and Maureen O’Hara.

Sean Thornton has returned from Amer-

ica to reclaim his homestead and escape his

past. Sean's eye is caught by Mary Kate Dan-

aher, a beautiful but poor maiden, and

younger sister of ill-tempered "Red" Will

Danaher. The riotous relationship that forms

between Sean and Mary Kate, punctuated by

Will's pugnacious attempts to keep them

apart, form the main plot, with Sean's past

as the dark undercurrent.

IT’S TIME FOR A BRAIN TEASER

The solution can be found on the last page of the newsletter!

“Here was one place where I could find out who I was and what I

was going to become. And that was the public library.”

— Jerzy Kosinski

Be sure to check out our newly updated website at https://hotspringscountylibrary.wordpress.com/ for the most current

information about the library! You can also like us on Facebook!

It started out as a Mine Craft build-

ing challenge—and changed into have fun

building what you’d like to build! The kids

had a great time using their imaginations

and creating something new! Don’t forget to

vote for your favorite either at the library, or

on our Facebook page!
