The Saguache County Public Library was given its present home at 702 Pitkin St., in a corner of Otto Mears Park in 1963, through the donations of land by the Town of Saguache and the funding for construction provided by the Gotthelf family. Built to Mrs. Gotthelf’s specifications, the library is an eco-friendly, easy to heat building made from native adobe, with lots of solar gain through our southern windows.

Recognizing the vital role that the library plays in educating and entertaining our community, the Friends of the Saguache Library is a local non-profit agency dedicated to increasing public awareness and providing financial support, through gifts, memorials and endowments.
