Anyone who lives, works, or owns property in Gunnison County may apply for a library card. Western State Colorado University students are also eligible. Proof of residency or employment and an application (signed by a parent or guardian if the applicant is under 13 years old) are required.
Persons residing outside of Gunnison County may also use the Library’s materials and equipment by presenting a driver’s license, or other official form of identification, such as passport or student ID. A local address with telephone number is required, as well as an application.
To ensure fair and equal access for all library users, we do require that you login with a library card number to use the computer. The computers are available for a ½ hour session. If there is no one else waiting for a computer, you can extend your session time as available.
If you are not eligible for a library card, you can ask at the desk for a guest pass.
Wireless Internet Access (Wi-Fi) is available for access throughout our libraries. To access our wireless, connect to the network “library” and open a web browser. Wireless users must abide by the Library’s Computer Use policy.
Gunnison County Libraries endorses the Library Bill of Rights and supports the core values of libraries as stated by our professional association, the American Library Association (ALA).
