Did you know the Wyoming State Library provides all Wyomingites access to a variety of free resources?
Over the next several weeks, the WSL will be running an awareness campaign to promote several of these resources that support research, business development, lifelong learning, personal enrichment, and much more.

Let’s Ride!
Research Guides
For researchers of all ages, the WSL has research guides on subjects ranging from the arts and humanities to the history of Wyoming. Our research guides provide access to full-text article databases with rich content for current issues as well as deep backfiles for historical research.
Digital Collections
The WSL’s Digital Collections Suite (DCS) includes a wealth of information specifically related to the state of Wyoming. If you are looking for archived newspapers, state and federal documents, or patents and trademarks, or want to take a virtual journey through the Equality State history, the WSL Digital Collection Suite shines a light on Wyoming’s rich history.
eLearning Tools
Learning is a part of everyone’s life, and the WSL’s e-learning tools give you the content you need for professional and personal learning on any digital device. Our databases, including ChiltonLibrary, Mometrix, LinkedIn Learning, Pronunciator, and more can help you learn how to repair your can, study for an exam, learn a new language, gain new skills, or even prepare to become a U.S. citizen!
Virtual Libraries
Our virtual libraries allow you to search for and access e-books, e-audiobooks, e-magazines, and more on your favorite digital device, using Libby, Tumblebooks, and TeenBookCloud. With your Wyoming library card, you can read, listen, or watch thousands of great titles anywhere you are–all without making the trip to your local library to check out or return books, (which means no waiting in line or paying late fees!)
Patents & Trademarks
Whether you’re a business, student, teacher, researcher, historian or inventor, the WSL has trained librarians that can provide guidance in the use of patent and trademark resources. As the only Patent and Trademark Resource Center (PTRC) in Wyoming, we provide free access to these resources in various formats.
Reference Services
If you have a research or reference question concerning the WYLDcat library catalog, GoWYLD research tools, finding library materials, or requesting an interlibrary loan, the expert librarians at the WSL are here to help! Our reference resources can help you find the information and services you need.
Business Resources
Are you looking for helpful and reliable business resources? The WSL partners with Wyoming Library to Business (WL2B), a business-focused, community driven and completely free resource, based in your local library. Popular resources include: photo and video equipment; podcasting stations; access to business counselors and more.
