South Dakota has produced some amazing Tyrannosaurus rex fossils, but this one is the most complete. If you want to see a T-rex fossil in person, visit the Museum of World Treasures in Old Town, Wichita.

A 67-million-year-old T. rex fossil found on a South Dakota cattle ranch nicknamed 'Gus' could sell for up to $30 million at auction in New York.

Summer Reading signup has started. The Arts Center will be doing programs starting June 1 at 2:15. The theme for this year's program is Unearth a Story, which includes dinosaurs and archaeology.

Kids can earn rewards for minutes spent reading, reading at least 5 days per week, attending programs, reading to stuffed animals at the library, and completing activities.

Teens and adults can take part in our Summer Reading Book Bingo. It's a good way to model reading habits for younger kids.
