| RE: Tie-dye party @ Sw. Co. Library Aug. 27 |
As an end-of-the-summer event, the Sweetwater County Library is hosting a tie-dye party for all ages Wednesday, August 27 from 11:00-3:00. It will be in the upper parking lot of the Library on 300 North 1st East in Green River. Due to the nature of the activity, children under the age of 14 must be accompanied by an adult. No exceptions.
Ellie Davis, Assistant Youth Services Librarian, said participants should bring no more than two 100% cotton, pre-washed items to dye. All other materials will be provided. She said synthetic or polyester material does not accept the dye. Davis will help people get started and suggest techniques to get the desired effect.
She has demonstrated tie-dye to the teens on several occasions and some adults have expressed interest in creating their own tie-dye so “we decided to open it to the public.” Davis said the high school teen group looks forward to this activity every fall and spring. The Library Club, TLC, teen group will resume meeting when school starts. Contact Davis for more information.

| RE: "Women of Mystery" video Aug. 21st |
A video, “Women of Mystery: 3 writers who forever changed detective fiction”, kicks off the “Reading Wyoming” discussion program at Sweetwater County Library on August 21 at 7:00 p.m. It features mystery writers Sue Grafton, Marcia Muller and Sara Paretsky and provides the context for the books in the series. The discussion program is free and open to the public. Jennifer Sorensen, Assistant Professor of English at Western Wyoming Community College, will lead the discussions.
The film is followed by monthly discussions of the three books selected for the series. Participants will read and discuss “F is for Fugitive,” by Grafton on September. 18, “The Shape of Dread,” by Muller on October 16 and “Tunnel Vision” by Paretsky on November 20. All of these books feature tough, smart, female private investigators who solve crimes involving social issues.
According to the WOMEN OF MYSTERY web site, the video includes dramatizations that capture familiar characters and themes from the novels, engaging scenes with each author exploring her heroine's home turf, and intimate interviews that reveal the complex relationship between author and heroine.
Twenty copies of the first book will be available at the film on Thursday and registration is underway at the Library. The film does not require registration and is open to anyone whether or not they participate in the book discussions. “Reading Wyoming” is sponsored locally by the Sweetwater County Library System and funded by the Wyoming Council for the Humanities.

| RE: Poetry Jam August 20 in Green River |
Due to popular demand, a Poetry Jam has been scheduled on August 20 at 7:00 p.m. at Centennial Park in Green River. The “jam” is sponsored by the Sweetwater County Library. Teen advisor Ellie Davis said she hadn’t planned on a jam in August but she has received many requests for it ever since the “hugely” successful “jam” in July on Expedition Island.
Due to the open-mic setting, no two jams have the same content, according to Davis. She asks poets and musicians to show up at 6:30 so she can schedule the line-up. The format of the jam begins with poetry. Each poet reads original poetry or any poem they wish as long as they cite the author. After the initial three rounds of poetry, others are invited to read or recite a poem. Davis said sometimes an audience member has gathered his or her courage during the performance and decided to recite a poem at the last moment. “The spontaneity adds to the fun”, Davis said. Musicians set up at the intermission.
The music is different for each “jam”. Every genre of music is performed including folk music, acoustic with an occasional alternative, country, rap, punk or metal number “thrown in for good measure.” Davis cautions that since the jam encourages self-expression, and poetry is not censored, the jams are more appropriate for high school students and older.

| RE: Women of Mystery book discussion program at Sweetwater County Library |
Starting in August, Sweetwater County Library will host “Women of Mystery,” a reading and discussion series in the Wyoming Humanities Council’s “Reading Wyoming” program. The discussion group will meet monthly on four Thursdays beginning August 21 at 7 p.m. and is free and open to the public. To register and borrow books, contact the library.
The “Women of Mystery” discussion series kicks off with a film about the three featured writers, Sue Grafton, Marcia Muller and Sara Paretsky on August 21. Participants will read and discuss “F is for Fugitive,” by Grafton, “The Shape of Dread,” by Muller and “Tunnel Vision” by Paretsky during the next three meetings. All of these books feature tough, smart, female private investigators who solve crimes involving social issues according to the Humanities Council. How do you prove the innocence of a man already found guilty of murder? That is the task Kinsey Millhone is faced with in her newest assignment in “F” is for Fugitive”.
In “The Shape of Dread”, Sharon McCone, San Francisco-based private eye, relates details in the case that take her to San Quentin where Bobby Fisher is doomed to die for the murder of a popular comic. Hoping to save Bobby, the PI investigates and uncovers evidence that she may pay for with her own life. Muller makes one feel the "shape of dread" on death row and provokes thought on the finality of capital punishment.
In “Tunnel Vision”, stubbornness has landed private eye V.I. Warshawski in big trouble at her Chicago office. With her building set to be razed, she discovers a homeless woman with three kids in the basement and before she can rescue them, they disappear. And worst of all V.I. has been implicated in a murder.
Jennifer Sorensen, Assistant Professor of English at Western Wyoming Community College, will lead the discussions. Sorensen has taught at Western for the past 11 years and has facilitated the Western Readers Group at the college for nine years. She has led discussion groups at WWCC for Fences, Frankenstein, and several Western literature and nature reading series. In addition, she served as a book discussion leader last year at the Sweetwater County Library for “My Antonia” and as a film discussion leader for “Fahrenheit 451” at the White Mountain Library in 2007. She was a member of The Love of Reading Committee from 1997-2000.
Jennifer looks forward to this mystery series because, "We start off with film and then apply what we learn to the three mystery books. It's an opportunity to discuss two of my favorite things---films and books."
The schedule for the four meetings is “Women of Mystery” film on August 21 followed by a discussion of “F is for Fugitive” on Sept. 18, “The Shape of Dread” on Oct. 16 and “Tunnel Vision” on Nov. 20, all at 7:00 in Green River at the Sweetwater County Library.
The program is offered by the Wyoming Humanities Council. Reading Wyoming provides reading and discussion series to nonprofit organizations around the state and is funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities. For more information on the council’s programs, call 307-721-9243 or visit the council’s website at www.uwyo.edu/humanities.

| RE: Back Country Navigation training @ Rock Springs Library |
Sheriff’s Detective Dick Blust will teach his fourth Back County Navigation class of the summer on August 16. This training will be held at Rock Springs Library from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. The one-day land navigation training program using GPS, map and compass is for hunters, anglers, backpackers and other outdoor enthusiasts. The final class of the season is scheduled September 13 at White Mountain Library. All classes are held on Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and are free and open to the public. Since the Rock Springs Library does not open until noon, Head Librarian Jon Harwood says people should enter the building through the Community Fine Arts Center “C” Street door and descend the stairs to the Ferrero Room.
Class size is limited to 25 people. Registration by phone or in person takes place at the library on a first-come, first-served basis. The first half of the course involves classroom instruction at the library with the afternoon devoted to field exercises at parks in the area. The classes are jointly sponsored by the Sweetwater County Sheriff’s Office and the Sweetwater County Library System, http://www.sweetwaterlibraries.com
Blust has trained hundreds of law enforcement officers, search and rescue volunteers, and rural firefighters. He recommends the use of map, compass, and GPS, or Global Positioning System, in an integrated system rather than relying on GPS alone.
He says, “Many people buy a GPS thinking it will replace the need for maps and compasses, but the best approach is to use them all together.”
The training covers a variety of topics including topographic maps and map reading, map coordinate systems, the basic compass types, compass navigation, how GPS works and how to apply it, position fixing with GPS, GPS navigation, and coordinating the resources of the map, compass and GPS. Blust focuses on practical, hands-on instruction and training that students find easy to apply to their back country activities.
Training handouts, GPSs, compasses, and maps will be provided, but participants who have their own GPSs, compasses, and maps are encouraged to bring them.

| RE: Rock Springs Library summer programs |
Summer activities continue at Rock Springs Library through August. At the July 23rd Wednesday program, librarians presented donations collected so far to the Rock Springs Humane Society. They will continue to accept donations for the Society until the end of the summer, according to Anne Parady, Head of Youth Services.
Next week fireflies will be featured at storytime on Tuesday at 10:00 and 1:00 and at the Wednesday summer reading program for older children at 10:00 and 1:00. Both groups will make a "light up" lightning bug craft out of plastic bottles. The final summer storytimes are scheduled on August 5th at 10:00 and 1:00. Rock Springs Library’s wrap-up summer picnic will be at Washington Park on Wednesday, August 6th at noon with hot dogs and treats. The park features a wading pool.
For the reading incentive program, Parady said children can continue to read for their prizes through August. The readers who set goals to be eligible for larger prizes will need to meet reading goals by August 6. Others can read through the end of August.
Teen Read will wrap up on August 22. Teens give an oral book report to librarians to qualify for prizes. "Rock Band Fridays" continues through August on Friday afternoons from 2:00 - 4:00. Teens can practice mastering guitar, bass, drums, or vocals with this computer game that can be competitive or collaborative, according to Parady.

| RE: Scott Kinney, new Library Director |
Scott Kinney began his first day of work as Library Director of the Sweetwater County Library System on June 30. He oversees a System with three main libraries and six rural branches in the 10,491 square mile county with approximately 40,000 residents. His task, as he assumes his new responsibilities in Sweetwater County, is to evaluate how we currently “do business” and how we can deliver even better service to the residents of Sweetwater County.
Kinney comes to Sweetwater County from Chadron, Nebraska where he has been director of the Chadron Public Library for the past 2½ years. Prior to that, Scott was Manager of Access Services for the Laramie County Library System. Kinney earned a Masters Degree in Library and Information Studies from Florida State University and has been working in libraries for 20 years. In addition, he served as WYLD Network President, 2003-2004. In that capacity Kinney assisted WYLD member libraries in the migration to a new statewide Integrated Library System (ILS).
Kinney said his motivation in applying for the job was to return to the Wyoming library community and he was intrigued by the challenges of overseeing a large, multi-branch library system. “It’s always been a goal of mine to be a public library director of a large library system. I have had ties to Wyoming libraries in the past and I thought it would be a great professional opportunity to work with a dynamic and established group of information professionals.”
Kinney’s immediate plans are to meet the staff in the nine branches and visit all the facilities. In conjunction with the Library Board of Directors, and library staff, he plans to assess new ways to provide exciting library services to the diverse communities in Sweetwater County. His priorities are to assist the Sweetwater County Library Foundation in raising a minimum of $296,000 that will be matched by the state of Wyoming’s Public Library Endowment Challenge Program. Kinney, with the assistance of library staff, plans to offer new online library services and new library programming for all ages. He encourages the public to contact him with concerns or suggestions.

| RE: Ribbon-cutting for Puppy Dog Tales |
Members of the Green River City Council, Parks and Recreation staff, Green River Arts Council, the Chamber of Commerce and Sweetwater County Library staff were on hand to dedicate “Puppy Dog Tales”, a sculpture by Bobbie Carlyle of Loveland, Colorado on July 15 in front of the library in Green River. The sculpture is now owned by the City of Green River as part of the Art on the Green program. A fundraising effort to acquire the piece took place over the past year. The City Council contributed $9,000 towards the purchase. The remaining $5,400 was raised by Sweetwater County Library staff, the Green River Arts Council, private donations and the public. The week prior to the ribbon-cutting, “Puppy Dog Tales” was placed on a permanent foundation by library maintenance personnel in the same area as the temporary location.
In his remarks, Director of Parks and Recreation, Walt Bratton, said “We would not be here today if the Mayor and Governing Body of the City of Green River did not believe in the importance of public art and support that belief with funding. However, the Governing Body must have the support of the community and today we demonstrate the depth of that support.”
Head Librarian Carla Hardy expressed appreciation for the support of the community, the City of Green River and the Arts Council. She said, “We are so pleased to have “Puppy Dog Tales” as part of the library landscape for everyone to enjoy. It reinforces our message that reading is important.”
Mayor Castillon closed the remarks commending the groups and individuals who helped raise the money for the sculpture and reinforced the City’s commitment to public art.

| RE: David Halter photo exhibit @ White Mountain |
David Halter’s photos from 2007-2008 are showing at White Mountain Library on the West wall until the end of August. A public reception for Halter will take place Tuesday, July 22 from 6-8:00. Refreshments will be served.
The 16 photos in the exhibit were taken during 2007 and first half of 2008. The photographs were printed and displayed using a variety of methods. The program accompanying the exhibit explains where the picture was taken, how it was taken, the story behind it and the camera that was used to capture it. Halter says a lot of his work is inspired by spontaneous trips around the local area.
Halter is a native of Rock Springs and works as Technology Coordinator for the Sweetwater County Library System. He recently graduated from Western Wyoming Community College. He says going to the local college has allowed him to take other “spontaneous” adventures such as traveling to Easter Island, and taking field trips with Paul Ng’s photography class to places like Adobe Town and Sheep Creek Canyon.
His “commentary” of the photo titled “Deer in Buffalo” states “This picture was taken in Buffalo, WY just off the highway. There isn’t any magic into taking this photo. I simply used a long lens and a fast shutter speed to prevent motion blur.” For “Trunk Moss” he says, “I took this photo as one of those ‘random’ pictures. This tree trunk is located near the Upper Green River Lake. I really liked how brightly colored the moss was on this trunk and how it contrasted against the gray bark. I didn’t realize until I printed this photo how many different shades of green there were.” He describes “Balancing Act” as “a rock perched on another rock due to differential weathering. It is located in Adobe Town along with other rocks just like it. I was on a field trip with Paul Ng’s photography class. This photo was not an assignment, but I took many photos with the digital and film cameras.”
For “Adobe Town 2” Halter said he enjoyed using the large format film and hopes to use it again in the future. Two versions of Canyon Lake in Arizona show the lake drained for maintenance on the dam and six months later when the lake had water again. In “Melt Water” Halter used a small aperture so he could use a longer shutter speed. It was enough to create a “silky” effect on the image. As evidenced by his descriptions and commentary of the photos, Halter likes to experiment with different techniques by using different cameras, media and lighting.
Most of Halter’s work is shot with a Digital SLR, the Canon EOS 5D. However, experience with using film in the darkroom has sparked his interest in the dying art form. He also uses a Canon AE-1 35mm SLR and a RolleiCord medium format TLR.
Exhibits are sponsored by the Sweetwater County Library System, http://www.sweetwaterlibraries.com, and coordinated by the Exhibits Committee made up of community volunteers and library staff.

David Halter, Technology Coordinator for the Library System, will demonstrate different techniques with a digital camera on Friday, July 18th at 3:00 p.m. Halter took the photos which are being used for solving the “Mystery Photos” on display in the library’s lobby for the past couple of weeks. Halter took the photos from different angles and magnified them. The contest is for junior high students and older. They will get a free young adult book if they identify all five images.
On Thursday, July 24th at 2:00 p.m. Willie Pineda and his students will demonstrate the martial arts including Kenpo Karate. The two programs take place in the meeting room at White Mountain Library. Registration is not required.

Ellie Davis, Teen Advisor for The Library Club, TLC, at Sweetwater County Library, says “Rock out for a good cause” at a concert on Wednesday, July 16 at Expedition Island at 7:30 p.m. The band is Akedah which got together a few months ago and the “cause” is the Food Bank in Green River. She’s asking people who attend the concert to donate one can of food or other non-perishable food item.
Davis says, “Some of the guy who frequent our Library Club's events approached me and asked if I could put on a show for them this summer. I told them, ‘Absolutely! Let's do it!’ Akedah features Micah Paisly on bass, Sawyer Zimmerman on guitar and Ryan Aery on guitar as well. Jake Arnold is singing and screaming and we have Mr. Kyle Hemker on the drums.” Davis said one of the young ladies in the club, Lexi Perry, asked her separately if TLC could do some sort of fund raiser to give back to the community. “I am, of course, very impressed with the entire group. They are all very thoughtful, creative and ambitious individuals. When I ran the idea by the guys in the band, they were like, ‘Right on! That's cool! Good idea!’"
The Sweetwater County Library's Library Club consists of students 9th grade and older. Davis said the Club is taking a summer break from the weekly get-togethers with summer jobs and family vacations and “excellent skateboarding conditions in effect.” The Library Club will begin meeting again in September on Tuesday's. In the meantime, the teen group is doing at least one event per month. About the concert Davis says, “Here we have an opportunity to support the exceptional talents of some of the youth in our community as well as give back to those in need. I hope to see everyone at the concert!”
