Did you know?   Your library has extensive local history files.  Former history librarian, Patty Myers did numerous oral history interviews and these have been name indexed and transcibed.  You may listen to them or read the transcripts.  We have the area newspapers, both physical copies and on microfilm.  A volunteer has indexed the obits in them.  On our website, you can search the early newspapers for the entire state of Wyoming.  This online database covers up to 1922, which is the copyright cut off date. There are family histories and genealogies, which have been given to us, to make available to the public.  We have all the  the local newspaper's Fair Edition, printed each August.  Each year, our department answers almost 200 inquiries regarding families and events in our county.  Information on the crash on Bomber Mountain, to the accidental landing of the large plane at our airport instead of Sheridan's, or any other subject of interest.  If we don't have information for you, we will try to locate it. Come and see what history awaits you.
