Beginning in 2009, GYDE in conjunction with Humphries Poli Architects led a comprehensive facilities programming effort for an addition and expansion to the 23,000 square foot Teton County Library. The process involved analysis of existing facilities, programs, and operations, and required the team to facilitate informational and planning meetings with the Library Board and staff, the Library Foundation, town and county planning officials, and the Friends of the Library non-profit organization.

The initial design phase deliverables were used to gain Library Board approval, SPET tax funding, and Town of Jackson Conditional Use permit. The design incorporated comfortable seating areas, collaborative workspaces, and quiet study zones. Movable furniture was introduces and modular shelving systems to allow for easy reconfiguration and adaptability. An emphasis was placed on enhancing lighting and acoustics. The goal was to maximize natural light by adding larger widows to create a bright and inviting atmosphere. Acoustic treatments were incorporated to minimize noise disturbances and provide a quiet environment for reading and study.

Today, the Library stands as a community hub and serves a wide cross section of the valleys population to provide not just books but also youth services, after school programs, study rooms, public access computers, and meeting spaces to host a wide variety of valley events and speakers.
