Letter the the Editor - Hard Realities for Kiowa County Library

It’s not a secret that 2020 has been a difficult year. For some of us, such as the Kiowa County Public Library District, it started out as an okay year. We were (and had been for a few years) working hard to bring a difficult question to the Kiowa County Community. We were planning, communicating, analyzing, and preparing to ask the community for support on a mill levy increase measure for the Library - something that hasn’t increased since we became a special district (which operates separately from the county) thirty-three years ago in 1987. 

Card of Thanks – Kiowa County Commissioners

The Kiowa County Commissioners would like to express our gratitude to the planning group for the Merry on Maine Holiday Festival.  

We understand the enormous planning for this event, along with the love and hope for our residents, businesses, and communities to have an inspirational event of fellowship and joyful celebration.  We know that this year has been profoundly disappointing for so many, no celebrations, graduations, weddings, funerals, reduced income, isolation, sickness and loss of life.
