Teton County Library

Professional, polite and very kind staff.

Used to be one of my favorite places in town as I love to be able to come in and find just about any book or its audio copy. I now feel super stressed out entering this space due to the aggressive employees that will hound you about a mask if you forget. Even when you are working in your own space easily 6 feet away from any other person it is required that you wear a mask, then they will kick you out at two different times during the day to do a 15 minute clean. I believe this is irrelevant with the mask policy being so strictly enforced by loud librarians. I say loud librarians because I had my mask on the entire time when I entered the facility and sat down, when I took my coat off my mask fell off and I didn't realize it yet, the librarian rushed over swiftly to loudly tell me to pull my mask up, its not even 10am yet so this comment really shook me. On a normal day when you are getting stuff done in the library you will not find any quiet time so don't expect that unless you reserve a conference room because the librarians love to have full volume conversations as if they are outside speaking to each other. The resources here are endless and amazing. The staff and the unnecessary policies are really what is making this place decline in terms of user experience. Really sad to see this place moving in such a horrible direction, completely disgusts me.

Very nice library, but they’re stuck on hygiene theatre with their cleaning policy for Covid. It’s very inconvenient and silly when the CDC previously said there’s a 1 in 10,000 chance of getting Covid from a surface.

Nicest library I have ever been in. Extremely fast and free wifi. See speedtest screenshot I posted.

The last 3 times I’ve been here it has been very different than my previous positive experiences…. rude, jaded, entitled librarians that are annoyed if you need help and should not be working customer service. Sad to see at a place that was once such a positive part of our community.
