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.

Mountain Folsom, a half hour
more
Event Details
Mountain Folsom, a half hour documentary by local filmmaker and Western Colorado University professor Dr. Jack Lucido chronicles the archeology work of Dr. Mark Stiger on the top of Tenderfoot Mountain which has dramatically changed the field in recent decades. Archeological digs and research by Dr. Stiger and several of his field school students uncovered the prehistory of Folsom people living on the mountaintop 10,400 years ago. The Mountain Folsom documentary was funded through tower rents collected on Tenderfoot or as it is more frequently referred to, W Mountain.
The library will screen this film on Tuesday, February 19th at 7 pm. Filmmaker Jack Lucido will be present and available for Q&A after the film.

Novel-Tea Book Club will meet on Thursday, February 28 at 2 pm to discuss “There’s Something in the Water” by Catherine Steadman.
Book synopsis from Goodreads:
If you could make one simple choice that would change your life forever, would you?
Erin is a documentary filmmaker on the brink of a professional breakthrough, Mark a handsome investment banker with big plans. Passionately in love, they embark on a dream honeymoon to the tropical island of Bora Bora, where they enjoy the sun, the sand, and each other. Then, while scuba diving in the crystal blue sea, they find something in the water. . . .
Could the life of your dreams be the stuff of nightmares?
Suddenly the newlyweds must make a dangerous choice: to speak out or to protect their secret. After all, if no one else knows, who would be hurt? Their decision will trigger a devastating chain of events. . . .
Have you ever wondered how long it takes to dig a grave?
Wonder no longer. Catherine Steadman’s enthralling voice shines throughout this spellbinding debut novel. With piercing insight and fascinating twists, Something in the Water challenges the reader to confront the hopes we desperately cling to, the ideals we’re tempted to abandon, and the perfect lies we tell ourselves.
