Answers
Where can I return items that I checked out?
All print and non-print materials may be returned to any of the Sweetwater County libraries.

Borrowed equipment must be returned to the lending library.

 
How do fines work in the library system?

Overdues Fines:
There are no fines for overdue materials. If material becomes 21 days overdue, the items will be considered lost and the patron's card will be blocked.

 
How do I get a library card?
Library cards must be presented for all transactions. A parent/guardian signature is required for all children under the age of 16. The first library card is free. There is a $3.00 replacement charge for a lost or stolen card. ID is required when you are applying for a card.

Your Sweetwater County Library System card may be used at any library in the State of Wyoming. Patrons using other county libraries must adhere to each individual library's circulation policies.

 
Is it possible to check out items from other county libraries?
Yes! Patrons may ask that we borrow library materials from other libraries if our library does not own the material. In order to maintain a good working relationship with other libraries, we ask you to please return materials on time.

If you have any questions on Interlibrary Loans, please call your local library.

 
How long do I have before I must return items back to the library system?
All items check out for three weeks, with the exception of videos which are for one week only.

Special items such as AV Equipment will have a three-day check out.

If you have any questions, please call or come in to the library.

 
How can I reserve a meeting room for an event I wish to host?
Meeting rooms may be reserved for public, not-for-profit, non-commercial use. All meetings must be open to the public with no admission fee. A reservation form is to be submitted prior to the event to the library where it is being held. A form can be obtained from your library or from this website.

 
Does the library system provide notary services to patrons?
Sweetwater County Library, White Mountain Library, and Rock Springs Library each have free notary services. If you require the services of a notary, please contact your local library before going there to be sure the notary is on duty.
