Midsummer Musings...

With outreach efforts around town, in-person outdoor storytimes and special events, and the gradual resumption of services, the Library is humming with activity again! Visitors may now use the upstairs public phone, vending machine, and water fountains, and connect to WIFI and WIFI printing in the building and parking lot.

Kids may check in with a librarian for one 30-minute computer session per day (one workstation is available as we remain mindful of social distancing concerns). Teens have access to two computers for one 60-minute daily session. The downstairs Computer Lab options for Adults remain limited, so we recommend calling ahead to reserve a spot, 303-661-1162.

Need a private place to study or connect to a meeting?

Two of our study rooms can now be booked, and our six-person free group study room can be reserved starting in August. Use the round button on the Library homepage to reserve a study room.

Event spaces

Looking to rent our Conference Room (current capacity 20 people) or the big Meeting Room (capacity 160)? The booking system will be open to the public on Wednesday, July 14.

It's almost Book Sale time!

Shop the Friends sale (in the Bookstore section near the Nonfiction area on the main floor) during Library hours, July 24-August 1. The sale will include books, DVDs, and gift items for all ages, as well as sets of Great Courses for $10 each. Most items are priced from $.50 to $4.

SUMMER READING 

Time's not up! All ages can still sign up to read, do engaging activities, and earn prizes and digital badges. 

We have blown past our community minutes goal
(we are at 660,000 and counting!)...how high can we go?

Summer Reading = Fun Reading. You pick what to read!
