This edition of Communities at Work shines the spotlight on some of our community’s most unsung contributors. The Craig branch of the Moffat County Libraries not only offers books and magazines, but it also makes available free Internet access and videos. As Sherry Sampson, director of the Moffat County Libraries described it, “We provide access to information for everyone in the community.” With new computers and automation systems updated in the Craig branch, accessing information in the cyber world and keeping track of books has never been easier or faster. The Craig branch also offers story time and crafts for children every week along with winter and summer programs for anyone interested in reading.
