The Cokeville Historical Society Chapter was pleased to co-host the Wyoming State Library in Cokeville to present the Wyoming Newspaper Project to all interested citizens. We had a packed room at the town hall at our special chapter meeting on August 14, 2008.
Lesley Boughton, Wyoming State Librarian, and Erin Kinney, Wyoming State Library Digital Information Specialist, also were able to train 49 people at 4 training sessions over a two day period. We appreciate them and all they did for our town. We are able to help archive digital newspapers but they brought jobs to 48 families! More money is needed from the Wyoming State Legislature to fully complete the Wyoming Newspaper Project and hopefully that means more employment opportunities for Cokeville!
We co-hosted the event with the Cokeville Miracle Foundation, which paid for the meals and school rental for the training days. Thanks Cokeville Miracle Foundation!
