This week at the Garfield County Libraries, all branches will be closed on Monday for a staff work day and all events are cancelled that day. 

On Thursday, the Parachute Branch Library is having a Creative Writing Club for high schoolers after school to hone those creative writing skills and language. 

Saturday brings Pioneering for the Modern Day to the Silt Branch Library to learn how to make household needs like soap and how to get through days without the ease of modern technology.
