This February, the Park County Library System (PLCS) has been busy teaming up with local community partners to reach patrons in unique ways and places, including patron’s gardens, the fairgrounds, and even the airport!
The PLCS provides free reading material for Yellowstone Regional Airport travelers.
The PLCS recently partnered with Yellowstone Regional Airport to provide books for travelers, as well as information on the library for visitors to our county. This month, the library updated their highly successful presence at the airport with a new rotating book tower.
Several large pieces of construction equipment were on-hand for fair participants to explore.
One of the most amazing statistics in the PLC’s 3rd annual report released this month was how many seed packets were borrowed from their seed libraries–17,257! Due to their popularity, the PLCS’s seed libraries will be celebrated with a Spring Forward Expo at all three library locations to kickoff gardening season.

The Powell Library hosted their first-ever Trades Fair on February 22 at the Park County Fairgrounds. Despite the snow and freezing temperatures, over 150 people attended to learn about trades, local companies, and the services they provide to our community. Participants of all ages were able to see amazing electricity demonstrations from Garland Light & Power Company, as well as try out the CDL simulator from Northwest College. Attendees were also invited to climb and explore heavy equipment and practice driving some of the equipment.
It’s been a busy month at the PCLS, and spring promises to be just as productive!
