InterLibrary Loan: If we don't have the material you are looking for, we can borrow it from another Wyoming Library! Due to the overwhelming success of this wonderful offering, we are asking for a $2 donation from you for each item requested to help offset the cost of postage. On average, a single item costs the lending library $4.62 to send to us. Once you return the item to us, it then costs our library another $4.62 to return the item to the lending library. The heavier the item, the greater the cost to both libraries. We are happy to accept this donation when you pick up your item and look forward to continuing this service for you!
Donations: Thank you for thinking of the Library, we are happy to receive your donations during library hours of operation. Please call ahead 684-5546 to make sure we have the space to receive your items beforehand. Books and other material donations are vital to enhancing the library’s collection. We love to receive books that you’ve enjoyed, so they can be read by others. We’ll check each donation to see if it can be used in our collection. Those that are not will be set aside for the Friends of the Library book sales which raise funds for library programming of all ages.
Items we're unable to accept:
- Water-stained, mildewed or soiled books. We also ask that you not bring in bags or boxes of books which contain dead insects, critter droppings, animal hair, etc. We are unable to safely use these materials. We appreciate your understanding and support.
