Libraries store the energy that fuels the imagination. They open up windows to the world and inspire us to explore and achieve, and contribute to improving our quality of life. Libraries change lives for the better.”

Montana's Only School-Community Library

Located within Winnett Public Schools buildings, we are dedicated to reading and the preservation of local history. We have a kids corner, DVD's, CD's, magazines, games and a book or two to borrow. We offer wi-fi to library patrons and we have a summer reading program, and a local book club!

​

 The library serves both the school system and the surrounding public.  Also housed at the library is the community's historical archives, which contains historic photographs, community information, and family information.

Honoring Nancy Freburg

Petroleum County's Librarian for 25 Years

Beloved daughter, sister, aunt, friend, teacher, and animal lover, Nancy G. Freburg, passed from this life on Feb. 13, 2019, at her home under the rimrocks in Winnett, MT. Nancy was born Dec. 31, 1945, to Ernest and Ruth Freburg in Lewistown, joining sister Mavis Rae. She grew up working on the family dairy, and graduated from Winnett High School. She attended Rocky Mountain College, graduating with a B.A. in Elementary Education in 1968. Nancy taught 1st and 2nd grades, then Library Science in Lewistown for 25 years. Nancy became the Petroleum County Public Librarian in 1994, a position previously held by her mom. She was also the Librarian for Grass Range and Roy schools. Always learning, Nancy was instrumental in early automation of the Winnett Library. Nancy played piano and organ at church and sang with Sweet Adelines. Nancy and Ben Maytum loved cheering on the Winnett Rams basketball teams. Nancy was a lifelong animal lover and advocate, taking in many dogs and cats and enjoying local wildlife. Nancy’s affectionate nature, constant encouragement, and sense of fun were treasured by all.
