A Library District is born!
Thank you voters!
Preliminary election results have shown that the library district passed with a lead of just over 6%. A board of trustees will first be appointed by city council and county commissioners. The entire process of transferring to a district will take over a year to complete.
Future projects for the library include:
Fixing the backlog of maintenance
Staffing locations at capacity
Expanding service hours
Opening north Boulder Branch
And this is just the start!

"The award-winning author of the memoir 'Inheritance' and host of the podcast Family Secrets returns with her first novel in 15 years. This will appeal to readers who enjoy nonlinear, character driven literary fiction such as 'And the Dark Sacred Night' by Julia Glass or 'Shuggie Bain' by Douglas Stuart."--Brett, Main Library
