The TLC & Teen Read: Making the Library Fun for Teens
EEDD

Pinedale teens often express frustration about
the lack of engaging activities and opportunities
available to them. In response to these needs,
the main library in Pinedale has launched the
Teen Library Council.
The Teen Library Council (TLC) is a group of
teens who help select what materials the library
orders for the young adult (YA) collection, plans
events and activities for teens at the library,
and promotes library awareness in the schools
and the community.
Beginning this spring, teens have been planning and developing activities for young adults
(8th—12th grade) for the summer months, and
also setting up a teen summer reading program, which will include movie nights, and of
course, food and snacks. They will also be involved in the design of the new young adult
area once a library expansion project begins
this year.
We already have more than a dozen teens
signed up to participate on the Council. You can
have your voice heard and get involved too. The
Council is always looking for new members!
The TLC had their first meeting on April 25. Our
teens had a good time meeting each other and
putting together ideas for summer events.
Stop in to the library today to learn more about
TLC or visit www.sublettecountylibrary.org/
Teens.htm to make your ideas happen!

Book Discussion Group
Library News
Returning this Fall to Big Piney
The Friends of the Big Piney Branch Library
served a breakfast to over 200 people on Saturday, April 8 as part of the 6th annual Basket
Auction and Egg Hunt. A big thanks to Pinedale
auctioneer David Stephens, who generously
volunteered his services and brought in over
$7,000 for the Friends of the Big Piney Branch
Library! Combined with mail-in donations, food
and basket contributions, the event brought in
about $8,000.
Watch in August for your letter to pick up the
first book for the Wyoming Council for the Humanities Book Discussion Group.
There will be a total of six books to be read and
be discussed once a month beginning in September and ending in March. No meeting in
December. Actual discussion dates to be announced.
Thank you to all the businesses and families
that made this possible. We appreciate your
support and are grateful for all you do for the
library. Such generous support will cover guest
speakers, story time and teen programs, book
discussion groups and many other fun activities
held at the library.
This year we are pleased that a small part of the
money will be put with donations from the
Jeanne Murdock Memorial Fund and matching
funds from the Sublette County Library Foundation to purchase a bronze statue for display in
the south garden at the Big Piney Branch Library. Jeanne Murdock was an avid reader and
library user who devoted much of her life to
volunteering in the community.
