The Park County Library

  
There are a lot of people that read this blog that used to live in Cody...so they check it out to see pictures of their old hometown.  I thought that they might like to see the new Park County Library building (which is really the old Marathon Building).  I admit that I was not too happy when they changed buildings, for selfish reasons...the old library was not far from my house, and I used to like to walk there in the evenings when they were open.  But now that the new library is open, I have become a big fan...so here goes the $2.00 tour...

 
This is a cozy little reading spot at the entrance.  There is a rack of newspapers near the fireplace, and with the sun streaming in through the windows it becomes the perfect spot to read the paper.

 

This is the Biblio Bistro...really good food at reasonable prices, or a quiet place to have coffee with a friend.

 

This is the outside patio...which in the summer is a nice place to sit because it borders the old Marathon Building pond, and you can watch the ducks.

 

Save a dollar or two by reading all the latest magazines at the library.  To the left is the Media Center, where you can check out books on tape, DVD's and videos.  

Now there was lots more.  A Children's Library, a Teen Room, lots of places for meetings, and a Used Book Store.  Not to mention rows of computers, desks and tables...but I was afraid to use the flash on my camera anymore for fear of getting run out of the place.  Librarians frown on flashes, I'm sure!

So if you live in Cody and you haven't been, check out the new library.  And if you have moved far from home...well, the new library is just one more reason to come back! DLB
