Lincoln County Library — slaying a dragon or snuggling one?
We saw smiling faces and read happy comments from all over the state yesterday during our Wyoming Snapshot Day 2017 celebration yesterday, October 10. Snapshot Day shows the tremendous impact libraries have on their communities on just one day of the year. Multiply that impact year-round and it’s clear how libraries support their communities and transform lives.
You can see all the photos on Flickr (or view them by library) and read what library users had to say. In the meantime, we’ll share a few photos and comments here. There are so many good ones, we don’t have room to post every one of our favorites, but here’s a smattering to let you know how the day went.

[su_quote]It’s a place where I feel free, there is something to learn new things, hangout with friends. And you get homework done. Add an espresso machine! — teen patron, Moorcroft Branch Library[/su_quote]
