Library Unveils Refreshed Space as Usage Continues to Break Records

The Library has completed its first major interior refresh since opening in 2006, and the results are stunning! New carpeting and paint breathe fresh life into our beloved community hub.

What's creating the biggest buzz? "The Hollow," a striking new teen space with a dark academia vibe designed by local teens, complete with vintage touches donated by community members.

But here's what will really amaze you: Your library isn't just beautiful, it's breaking records across Colorado. With 91% of residents holding library cards and circulation rates more than double the state average, Louisville's library is setting the standard statewide.

Join a Book Discussion Group!

The Louisville Public Library sponsors five volunteer-led book groups meeting from fall through spring. With true crime, fiction, and diverse genres meeting Monday evenings, Sunday afternoons, and weekdays, there's something for everyone! Spaces fill quickly, contact us today to join or get on the waitlist!

Reading Buddies: Adventures Await!

Calling all future Big Buddies (ages 13-17) and Little Buddies (grades 1-2)! Our fall Reading Buddies program launches August 1, pairing teens with young readers. Each session builds literacy skills while fostering meaningful mentor relationships. Both Big Buddies and Little Buddies gain confidence, creativity, and lasting connections. Applications due September 3!
