Sublette County Libraries

The Sublette County Libraries serve a population of spread out over square miles of untouched wilderness of unparalleled beauty. Sublette County is cradled by three major mountain ranges, the Wind River Mountains, the Wyoming Range and the Gros Ventre Range. Pinedale, the county seat of Sublette County, sits at an altitude of 7,200 feet and is 80 miles southeast of Jackson Hole. There are two libraries in our system: the Pinedale Library and the Big Piney Library. Both libraries serve as the heart and vital community centers of their respective communities and are beautiful public spaces. The Pinedale Library is an architectural award winning structure: the main library is constructed of logs and the addition is built from environmentally conscious rammed earth — the first public building in the U.S. built from insulated rammed earth. Its spacious meeting rooms are used by everyone from local businesses to state agencies and hosts everything from baby showers to community meetings, dances to funerals. The Big Piney Library is much loved by its patrons and its newly renovated space is impressive and beautiful. Additionally, we have a mobile Little Library that is periodically transported to different locations across the county three seasons out of the year. Although remote, Sublette County Libraries prides itself on its cutting edge programming, marketing, and technology. Our collection is robust and includes a wide range of print, audio visual and electronic materials. We serve as the “genius bar” offering technical help to county residents. We partner with local businesses often and perform outreach at daycare centers, BOCES and senior centers to bring services directly to the community. We have dedicated employees, a collection of dedicated paraprofessionals from different backgrounds, each with their own unique talents and strengths but all committed to going above and beyond in service to our community and its changing needs.
