Ten Sleep Branch Library on Snapshot Day.
On Wyoming Snapshot Day, we asked patrons why the library was important to them. We had so many great comments, it was tough to narrow it down to a few to share here on the blog. You can read all of them over on the Wyoming Snapshot Day website. We’d also encourage you to check out the photos and video.
Libraries make a difference every day. Here are some of our patrons telling us why:
