• Lib. board on notice: Board tangles with public notice gaffe (rivertonranger.com) — A Riverton resident is challenging how the Fremont County Library Board handled public notice and timing for controversial changes to its material acquisitions policy, which affects libraries serving Riverton and the rest of the county. Questions center on whether the public comment period truly allowed residents to see and respond to the proposal while the director was on vacation and legal review was still pending.
