We at the CWC Library are here to help. It's not just our job, but our passion. No question is too small, silly, or out-there...we have heard a lot and if we don't know the answer we hopefully can help you find it.
The CWC Library located in Main Hall 109 is the main library for the campus of Central Wyoming College, serving our students, instructional faculty, and campus staff, as well as the community of Riverton, Fremont County, and our multiple Outreach Centers in Lander, Wind River, Dubois, and Jackson.
Instructors may put books "On Reserve" for their students. The items can check out for various time periods for the students and cannot be checked out by the community at large. To put personal items or library items on reserve (which are kept behind the circulation desk) come to the library, call Sam 307-855-2232, email librarian@cwc.edu, or use our Reserve Form
The library catalog is a state-wide system that allows you to search not only CWC's collection but also every county library and community college library. Learn how to request items through Interlibrary Loan (ILL) here. In most cases, ILL is free of charge; in the rare case the lending library charges a fee you have the ability to decide beforehand.
On average, this service takes 5-7 business days.

The library can complement students' learning process. To help maximize the usefulness of resources, librarians can spend some time with your class. If you have a specific assignment or simply want an overview, please get in touch. We love to assist whether it's in the classroom or via Zoom in your online class.
The Library holds regular workshops that focus on writing skills throughout each semester. Find our Event Calendar Here.

There are many reasons that you should utilize databases for your research needs.
Just like your thesis statement - having a narrow search field allows you to focus on your end product -- a GREAT research paper.
Your CWC Librarians have developed many videos to help you navigate the ins and outs of writing, research, citation, using databases, and so much more. Visit our YouTube page to see all of our videos.
Video Highlights
The library has laptops, webcams, earbuds, hi-quality headphones, calculators, and 2 large flat-screen TVs available for use. A user agreement form must be submitted prior to the first checkout for some items. These devices are available for students and staff. We cannot guarantee all equipment will always be available so prepare ahead. *Flat-screen TVs are for in-library use only OR can be checked out of the library by a CWC staff person or faculty. Students may not use the TVs outside of the library.
Your CWC ID card is your library card and gives you access to every library in Wyoming.
Libraries in Wyoming work as a consortium, which means that you have access to practically every item in all 23 counties and 8 community college libraries.
Your library card may be used to check out books, technology, games, DVDs, and request books from other libraries.

The library books are all located on the second floor of the Central Wyoming College Library.
