Gunnison County Libraries
Gunnison County has a seven-decade history of library service to Gunnison and Crested Butte residents and visitors. Our libraries include Crested Butte Library and Gunnison Library, and the Center for Adult and Family Education. The first library was established in 1939 in the basement of Webster Hall in Gunnison by the American Association of University Women with a grand total of 2,000 volumes. Finally, in 1965, Gunnison County designated this library the Gunnison County Public Library. In 1975 the library moved to its present Gunnison location and a small addition was completed in 1983. Much of this was made possible through the vision and support of local philanthropist Ann Zugelder for whom the library building is named.

Event Details
Join the Crested Butte Library and the Crested Butte Mountain Heritage Museum for a showing of King of Hearts on January 25 from 6:30-8:30 pm at the Museum.
The film is based on a French border during World War I. The town is abandoned by normal townspeople fearing an invasion by the Germans. However, one French soldier is knocked out during the retreat. When he awakes in this town, unknown to him, the local asylum doors have been left open and the town populated by oddly dressed cooks.
This movie became a local favorite during the 70s, many identifying with this zany dark comedy. This is a French movie with English subtitles.
Cash bar and popcorn will be available to purchase.
