Oh my goodness! Take a look at these photos of the Kiowa Library back room. There's framing up already! Here are the bones of what will be our new restroom, kitchenette, storage, and office areas and we are SO excited!

Many thanks to everyone for your patience while we are closed for this project, and please keep coming by for curbside services! 🌲🌻💛

Well, hello Kiowa friends! The library is in the throes of our renovation project, and we thought you would enjoy seeing some photos of the progress over the past couple of weeks. As a reminder, with the library in disarray and lacking a restroom (literally, nothing back there right now) we are offering curbside services only at this time.

These include:
• Picking up holds and materials - staff are happy to pull something from the shelf for you!
• Call 303-621-2111 when you arrive and we will bring your holds out to you!
• Printing
