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.

Helen Sage has been working with the body for over 20 years. Her foundation was in college when she graduated and became a Certified Athletic Trainer. 10 years later her knowledge expanded to Massage Therapy, and now Reiki and Health Coaching, after dealing with her own gut issues. She has a close relationship with her own gut, eating patterns and the parasites and candida that used to live there. Now with a healthy gut and a stronger intuitive insight, she is excited to help others on their journey through their own habit changes and wellness.
