In November, fundraising for the Wyoming Library Endowment Challenge reached the halfway mark. Thanks to endowment fund requests from Uinta, Albany, and Weston counties this month, Wyoming libraries have officially raised $4,496,491 — 50.3% of their total $8,940,748 goal that would allow them to access all state matching funds. Between incentive and matching funds, libraries have now received more than $10.5 million in state dollars to build permanent endowments.
