Grand County Public Library is a public library that serves the community in Grand County, Utah. The library's main branch is in Moab, Utah and a second branch is located in Castle Valley, Utah.[1]

The library's mission is to serve as a freely accessible resource that connects people, information, and ideas to inspire, empower, and enrich all members of the community.[2]

History

The issue of building a library was brought up in a 1911 Citizens' mass convention.[3] The county decided to build one.[4]

The library was completed in 1915.[4] Then, in 1935, it moved again, to the high school.[5] In 1967, the library burned down. The townsfolk helped rescue hundreds of books.[6] After the fire, the library moved yet again.[7]

The library was named the best small library in the USA of 2007 in Library Journal.[8]

The library has had a library cat called Cosmo since 2018, who features on library publications and even has a feature Cosmo's Corner in the Moab Sun News where the library features new services.[9]

Collections

The library houses books, DVDs, eBooks, audiobooks, puzzles, newspapers and magazines.[10] The library service has used the Koha ILS since 2012.[11]

In particular staff have noted that audiobooks are particularly popular with their community as local people tend to drive long distances across the remote areas.[8]
