In 2019 I decided to treat my 20 year old kitchen to some upgrades for all our sakes. Being my father’s daughter, I was able to discover “good deals.” My friend recommended a painter. She and I bonded over lunch when she worked on my cabinets. I found a name brand gas stove top for a fraction of the cost at Lucky Leroy’s.

This past April, the Valentine City Council signed a proclamation to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Valentine Public Library. Director Anne Quigley read the 100th anniversary proclamation which began: Whereas, in April 1921, members of Chapter CA PEO, responding to the needs of a young and growing community, met with the objective of establishing the first public library in Valentine. With enthusiasm, energy and dedication from volunteers, and 500 donated volumes, the Valentine Public Library opened its doors on April 15, 1921. From these modest beginnings, the Library’s collections grew along with the community, to the point that it was turned over to the city in 1935 with 3,000 volumes and moved to the upper floor in the newly built City Hall. A new library building was erected across from City Hall. It was dedicated in August of 1968, it is the current location and now contains 30,000 volumes.
