1k books before Kindergarten Kick Off Party
2025-09-22 10:30 - 23:30
Families are invited to join the 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten Kickoff Party with the Powell Library on Monday, September 22nd at 10:30 a.m. in the Heart Mountain Hall Meeting Room at the Park County Fairgrounds!
The 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten program is a nationwide challenge that encourages parents and caregivers to regularly read aloud to their children. By reading just one book a night, families can reach the 1,000-book goal in three years and provide their children with essential early literacy skills.
Research shows that the most reliable predictor of school success is being read to during early childhood. Reading to children from an early age can help close the vocabulary gap and prepare children to enter kindergarten with the skills they need to succeed.
The 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten program is available to all families with children between the ages of birth and five years old. This program is free of charge and there is no need to sign-up to attend the kickoff party. For more information, please call the Powell Library at (307) 754-8828 or stop by the circulation desk.
***Please note that if you have already been participating in the 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten Program and are going to still be participating, please let us know by closing on Friday, September 5th as we are in the process of updating the program.
**** The Powell Library is located in Homesteader Hall at the Park County Fairgrounds (655 E. 5th St.)

Evening Book Discussion
2025-09-30 18:00 - 19:00
The Evening Book Discussion group will be discussing ‘Behind Her Eyes’ by Sarah Pinborough on September 30th at 6 p.m. in the Homesteader Hall Meeting Room at the Park County Fairgrounds.
More about this fiction book:
British author Sarah Pinborough effectively shifts perspectives between two complex characters in this twisty psychological thriller set in North London. Louise Barnsley is chagrined to learn that the hunky man who kissed her in a bar turns out to be her new, married boss, therapist David Martin. Louise and David agree that the flirtation would be just a onetime thing, but their interactions become more complicated when David’s gorgeous wife, Adele, bumps into Louise and cultivates her friendship. Sections set in different time frames provide an ominous backdrop for the triangle, with references to dirt under fingernails and things having been done “that could not be undone.” Despite her deepening bond with Adele, Louise is unable to successfully repress her attraction to David, even as he shows sides of his personality that disturb her. Pinborough will keep even veteran genre readers guessing about which members of the trio, if any, are providing trustworthy accounts of their pasts and presents.
To join, ask for a copy at the circulation desk, or check it out on Libby!
