SWEETWATER COUNTY – With the holidays approaching quickly, the Sweetwater County Library System has a couple of upcoming events to help people make the most of their holiday shopping budget.

The library system is hosting two Thrifty Holiday Shopping events in November. The first will be at 6:30 p.m. on Nov. 10 at the Sweetwater County Library, 300 N. 1st East in Green River. The second event will be at 6:30 p.m. Nov. 19 at White Mountain Library, 2935 Sweetwater Drive in Rock Springs.

The classes will be taught by local couponing and discount shopping expert Bridgette Nielsen, who has taught several couponing classes through the library system and in the community. “The biggest savings happen the week before and of Thanksgiving,” Nielsen said. She will share tricks and tips for finding those sales and making the most of them.

But the holidays are not the only time that big savings happen – after-Christmas sales often offer big savings. Nielsen will be teaching and After-Christmas Super Savings class at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 9 at White Mountain Library.

These events are sponsored by the Sweetwater County Library System. For more information on Sweetwater County Library System events and services, drop by any Sweetwater County location, visit the library system online or follow the libraries on Facebook.
