Library News
The Little Free Library was unveiled at the Little Park on the Prairie in Cheyenne Wells on August 29th, 2024 with community members, including school children and library board members. The Little Free Library was dedicated to former Library Director Lynne Stutz. Lynne had a passion for sharing her love of reading with others, particularity children. There are 150,000+ Little Free Libraries located around the country, and the world! Stop by to take a book or share a book.
The Shari Clayton Memorial Fund has brought a doorway puppet theater to the library. On April 17th, 2024, this was unveiled to children at Storytime. We are delighted to invite children to stop by and create their own puppet shows!

Masons Donate to Library
Lynne Stutz, Librarian, and Steve Dickey, representing the Cheyenne Wells Masonic Lodge are pictured with new computers purchased by East Cheyenne County Library District with $4500 in funds donated by the Masons. One computer is up and running the the other two will be installed over the Thanksgiving holiday for public access. Computers are heavily used in the library as this is the only public access to computers. These are Dell Optiplexes, big word dog computers, and will also be used for training the public with classes planned in the near future.
Lynne is always searching for ways to upgrade and maintain our great library, applied for the monies from the Masons with a letter describing the need for the equipment and what they would be used for. She also applied for and was granted a Library People Grant which has purchased new software, the latest in a professional suite which includes a multitude of programs.
East Cheyenne Library District was recently approved as a project in the Enterprise Zone. With this designation, donations to the library are a win-win. They not only help out our library, but allow for a wuite off on your state taxes.
Our citizens sincerely thank the Masons and many others who donate, volunteer, and work hard to provide this fantastic service to our community and many individuals county-wide.
