Come by the Upton Branch Library for Wyoming Libraries Snapshot Day. We are gathering photos and comments on what the library means to you so everyone can know how important libraries are to everyone. This will represent 'A Day In the Life of Your Library'.
We are also having a used book sale from Tuesday, October 19 through Friday, October 22. Books are very reasonably priced and they all need a good home. The proceeds from these sales allow us to buy needed books and equipment for your library. The sale will be open during normal library hours.
