In November 2006, Park County voters approved a 1% sales tax to help fund the renovation of the ground floor of the Park County Complex (formerly the Marathon Building) into a new space for the library. In the meantime, we continue to operate from our current location.

History
The Cody Library has been a vital part of this community for over 100 years. It was founded in 1906 as a project of the Woman’s Club of Cody and housed in a small stone building on the present site. Park County was formed from a part of Big Horn County in 1911. In 1914 the Park County Commissioners appointed the first board to form a county library. The Cody City Council immediately applied to the Carnegie Foundation for funds to build a new building. Funding was granted, and the Carnegie Library was opened in 1916.
In 1965 the Carnegie Building was torn down to make way for the completion of our current library building on that same site. The Cody Library building also serves as administrative headquarters for the Park County Library System.
