Over the past several years, VTL heard from our community that we should explore the need for a new Driggs branch library building. In 2023 we asked RATIO, an architecture firm specializing in libraries, to help gather community ideas about a potential new library space. Through public surveys, community outreach sessions, staff brainstorming meetings, and library leadership input, they helped develop a comprehensive community needs assessment for VTL. It’s informative, creative and fun! You can read the results here:
VTL Community Needs Assessment
The RATIO inquiry had several key goals:
1. Help VTL identify and meet the needs of a 21st century library
2. Create design options for a new branch building
3. Develop an agreement plan to guide the next chapter of development for a new library branch building in Teton Valley
A special thank you to the 200+ people who have been involved in this process, especially to community members who love and support Valley of the Tetons Library. The people of Teton Valley provided the vision of a new library space that will meet essential community needs. That vision is encapsulated here. Enjoy!

Durante los últimos años, VTL escuchó de nuestra comunidad que deberíamos explorar la necesidad de un nuevo edificio de biblioteca sucursal en Driggs. En 2023 le pedimos a RATIO, una firma de arquitectura especializada en bibliotecas, que nos ayudara a recopilar ideas de la comunidad sobre un posible nuevo espacio bibliotecario. A través de encuestas públicas, sesiones de extensión comunitaria, reuniones de intercambio de ideas del personal y aportes de los líderes de la biblioteca, ayudaron a desarrollar una evaluación integral de las necesidades de la comunidad para VTL. ¡Es informativo, creativo y divertido!
