Gunnison Library
The first library in Gunnison county was established in 1939 by the American Association of University Women. In 1965, it was designated as the Gunnison County Public Library. In 1975 the library was moved to its current location, much of which was made possible through the vision and support of local philanthropist Ann Zugelder for whom the library building is named.[1]
Crested Butte Library
Crested Butte Library resides in Old Rock building, a two-story, two-room schoolhouse, built in 1883. From 1883 to 1927 Old Rock operated as a school and between 1927 and 1967 it became a storage spot for the town and occasionally a gymnasium. After renovations were completed in 1993, the Old Rock Community Library, a branch of the Gunnison County Library District, was open for business on June 22, 1993. Governor Roy Romer on September 21, 1993, dedicated the Old Rock Community Library, 110 years after the Old Rock was built.[2]
