The Wyoming State Library will be closed Wednesday, November 11, in honor of Veterans Day.

Veterans Day, November 11, was first established in 1919 as Armistice Day, to honor the veterans of World War I on the anniversary of that conflict’s end. In 1954, it was renamed Veterans Day to honor American veterans of all wars.
