According to event organizer Kathie Selden:

The preferred collection spot will be the sale site in the former Big Lots in Cheyenne Plaza, 3501 E Lincolnway, next to the Trampoline Park. Hours at this site will be Mon, Wed, Fri & Sat 9am-1pm. Longer hours will be Tues, Thurs & Sun 9am-4pm.

Collection boxes will be in Albertson’s at 5800 Yellowstone Road, and 3355 East Pershing; Safeway at 700 South Greeley Highway; Gold’s Gym, 1616 East Pershing; Sprouts, 5214 Rue Terre; and the YMCA, 1426 East Lincolnway.''

People who are unable to deliver the books or who have a large quantity, (within a 10 mile radius), call 630-3682, or 421-1755 for an appointment.

Selden says people should leave a message. Books must be boxed or bagged. Books on CD, puzzles and DVDs are also accepted. But Selden says no one wants old textbooks, encyclopedias, or VHS tapes so donations of those items will not be accepted.

The DKG used book sale is a long-time local tradition, dating back to 1983.

Meet the Four-Legged Heroes of the Cheyenne Police Department

They may not be able to leap tall buildings in a single bound, but make no bones about it, police dogs play a vital role in the fight against crime.

In many situations, they're the first ones to put their lives on the line to protect their human partners, proving that not all heroes wear capes, some wear fur coats.
