The library system has a staff of 75+ employees, an annual budget of $5.4 million, circulation in excess of 705,000 annually and a collection of more than 319,000 items.

LCLS is funded through the Laramie County government by a portion of the county’s property tax and 10% of the county’s share of an optional 1% sales tax.

The library continues to grow and serve the people of Laramie County with an ever-increasing collection, new and expanded services, and programs to promote lifelong learning.
