Library Invites Community to Laubin Tribute on Aug. 20
 Jackson, WY- Dail Barbour remembers watching Reginald and Gladys Laubin perform dances of the American Plains Indians in Jackson Hole where the couple performed for three decades.
“You were totally transported, you believed that you were at a Native American Pow Wow or a celebration or a war dance,” Barbour said. “The hair stood up on the back of your neck it was so realistic.”

Future, Your Library: Strategic Plan Progress
 The
Library is moving ahead with three more of its goals in 2008. This year the library
looks to develop programs and services that reflect the cultural and demographic
changes in the community. In addition, the Board agreed to further develop the
library's model work environment. Third, the library will "operate as a fiscally
responsible entity of Teton County." Just two years into the library's strategic
plan timeframe of 2006 - 2010, the library has already worked through seven goals,
which puts it on track to complete all thirteen goals in a timely manner. Staff
will be developing objectives for these goals even as the library implements specific
actions for the goals from 2006 and 2007, which includes work on a long-term facilities
master plan and programs and services for teens and seniors. To see progress to
date on individual goals, please click on the "objectives" for individual
goals here. To
