Sprinkler system floods Meeteetse library, destroying 5,887 books. (Casper Star-Tribune, 3/9/2013)
The adult fiction and nonfiction collections took the brunt of the damage.
Among the lost items:
- Irreplaceable editions of Zane Gray westerns
- First edition of Ansel Adam’s “Tetons and Yellowstone”
- Rare books of Wyoming, U.S. and world history that have long been out of print.
The Meeteetse Branch serves as both a public and a school library.
