Our Organization

Welcome to the University of Wyoming Libraries!

On behalf of the entire team at UW Libraries, I welcome you to use and enjoy our libraries. Whether you are a new student embarking on your academic journey, a faculty member seeking resources to support your research, or a visitor exploring our extensive collections, you belong here.

The libraries are more than just a place to find books and journals; they are vibrant hubs of learning, collaboration, and innovation. We invite you to take full advantage of our services, explore our diverse collections, and study or relax in our library buildings.

If you need assistance or have questions, please reach out to us. We are here to help you navigate your academic journey and to provide the support you need to succeed.

Once again, welcome to the University of Wyoming Libraries. We look forward to supporting you and celebrating your achievements.

-- Cass Kvenild, Dean of UW Libraries
