Gillette Daily Brief: Library Kids’ Fair, County Updates, and Community Notices

Today’s Local Snapshot

It’s a busy Saturday in Gillette, with family-friendly events underway and several county updates worth a quick look. While there’s no breaking emergency news in the last 48 hours, local government and community organizations have posted a handful of timely items that affect daily life around town.

Kids’ Fair at the Library Draws Families

The Campbell County Public Library is hosting its “Take Your Child to the Library Day” Kids’ Fair this morning, running from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. The event includes games, hands-on activities, and learning stations designed for children of all ages. Library staff say it’s meant to be a welcoming way for families to explore library programs beyond books, especially during the winter months.

Events like this tend to fill the library quickly, and families attending should expect a lively atmosphere and limited parking during peak hours.

County Shares Budget and Tax Information

Campbell County officials have released new information related to the FY 2026–2027 budget cycle, including details on applications tied to the county’s one-percent funding process. Alongside that, updated guidance on property tax exemptions for the 2026 tax year has been posted, aimed at helping eligible residents understand deadlines and qualification requirements.

These notices are part of the county’s early-year push to keep residents informed before spring deadlines approach.

Recycling Center and Public Notices

The county has also issued a public notice related to bid openings for the Campbell County Care Recycling Center. While this doesn’t change day-to-day recycling operations immediately, it signals potential updates to how the facility is managed in the future.

Additional routine notices include reminders about upcoming county commission meetings and ongoing job openings within county departments, including a part-time position at the public library.

What It Means Locally

For most residents, today is about community life rather than major headlines. The focus is on family activities, planning ahead for taxes and county services, and staying aware of small but important administrative changes. As February continues, more public meetings and seasonal programs are expected to be announced.
