Wyoming was still a territory when the Laramie County Library System was established. and it remains the oldest continually operating county library system in the United States.The first library building opened in 1886. It was located on the third floor of a business building on Carey Avenue and after that in the basement of what was then Central School. With funding from city resources, American philanthropist Andrew Carnegie offered $50,000 toward a new building in 1899. Three years later, the Laramie County Library opened on May 19, 1902, on the southeast corner of 22nd Street and Capitol Ave, offering 10,000 square feet of space.
Almost sixty years later, the need arose for a larger building, and on October 19, 1969, a new building of nearly 38,000 square feet was opened to the public, located at 2800 Central Avenue.
On September 8, 2007, the new Laramie County Library in Cheyenne opened at 2200 Pioneer Avenue with over 100,000+ as a third place destination for the community.
