IT'S ALWAYS FREE! .....park your snowmobiles and atvs down at the museum and check it out- visit our museum page Just a short walk from where ever you are staying in Sumpter.....! The Sumpter Library was a vision first shared by SVMA President and Museum Director, Stephen F. Rich and retired library director, Aletha Bonebrake. Perry Stokes, the current Baker County Public Library Director, kept the dream alive and now............... Sumpter has a library! Gary Dielman, the Baker Library District President and local Historian and Photo Archivist, believes Sumpter once had a library based on a 1905 Directory he is aware of, but there is little evidence stil existing. So, if you have information regarding the first library in Sumpter Oregon, please contact the Sumpter Library at: 894-2253. The Library needs more volunteers! Please contact the librarian
if you would like to volunteer in the Sumpter Library! The Sumpter Library shares space with the Sumpter Municipal Museum
but the space had to be prepared prior to the library being installed. The BYCAP Crew, of Baker City, supervised by Ben Titus, with the direction of Stephen F. Rich, our Museum director, worked hard to get the space ready. Original brick walls had to be cleaned and sealed by hand, original door frames and windows had to fixed and painted. Randy and Linda Joseph, of Joseph Millworks, donated materials and millwork very much appreciated by the library and Rich, who made the molding work look so good!
