Marla Knight brings books and companionship to Shirley Simpson. Simpson lives just a few blocks from the Rock Springs Library. For most of the past 65 years, she could just “run down the creek” and get the books she wanted. But there came a time when surgeries and other health problems limited Simpson’s ability to visit many of her favorite places. It was then that the Sweetwater County Library Outreach Service stepped in and, over time, became more than a delivery service. ( Lisa Romero/Daily Rocket-Miner via AP)
