The Wyoming State Library will be closed Thursday, July 4, for Independence Day. We will resume our normal hours on Friday, July 5.

We celebrate the July 4 holiday in honor of the signing of the Declaration of Independence by the Continental Congress on that date in 1776. Learn more about the Declaration from the National Archives.

Although we won’t be in the building, you can still check out reading material online — ebooks, downloadable audiobooks, and digital magazines — through GoWYLD.net. Or you can peruse our Digital Collection Suite of historical Wyoming information.
