Torrington, WY — November 18, 2025 — The Community Pride Foundation is proud to announce the award of $1,100 to the Goshen County Library Foundation to support the purchase of Copernicus Self-Regulation Classroom Cruisers. These youth-sized stationary bikes are designed to help children channel energy, improve focus, and enhance their reading experience during the winter months.
With more than 43,000 annual visitors, the Goshen County Library serves children, families, and caregivers throughout the region. During long winter seasons, many children rely on the library as a warm, welcoming place to learn and play.
“These bikes will be a creative and meaningful way to support young learners,” said Cristine Braddy, Goshen County Library Director. “Movement helps children reset their energy, reduce stress, and stay engaged with their reading. We’re grateful for Community Pride Foundation’s support in making this possible.”
The Classroom Cruisers will be incorporated into youth programs and made available throughout the winter months and beyond as a long-term resource for the library’s children’s area.
The Community Pride Foundation is pleased to support this creative initiative that promotes literacy, wellness, and community enrichment for Goshen County youth.
