Humanities Council awards grant to CWC Library

We recently received notice that the Wyoming Humanities Council approved our grant application to fund Teresa Jordan's visit in April.

Jordan is the author of the Western classic, Riding the White Horse Home about her experience growing up on a ranch near Iron Mountain and the later sale of the ranch. She has written about a wide variety of Western issues, in particular the role of women in the settlement of the region.

Four communities are participating in the grant project. Jordan will speak at Western Wyoming Community College in Rock Springs on April 9 as part of their Speakers of the West series, here at CWC on April 10 and in Cody and Powell on April 11.

For more information about Jordan, visit her webpage at: teresajordan.com.
