Grace Kastens, representing the Atwood Library, presented the library’s 2027 budget request and the library’s 2025 annual report to the Rawlins County Board of Commissioners on May 15. Kastens told commissioners the library added a staff member last year, installed new benches outside, completed a mural on the south wall and continues to share book collections with neighboring libraries.
The presentation outlined planned activities and the library’s staffing update; Kastens asked the board to consider the 2027 budget request during upcoming budget deliberations. No dollar amounts for the 2027 request were provided at the meeting.
The board took the presentation under advisement; no formal vote on the library’s budget request occurred at the session. The next regular meeting was set for June 1, 2026, when the commissioners could revisit budget matters during their normal county budget process.
