๐Ÿ“– Read boldly. Think freely.

Some of the most loved books have also been some of the most challenged. During Banned Books Week (October 4โ€“10), we celebrate the freedom to read and the importance of access to diverse stories, ideas and perspectives.

Whether you're revisiting a classic or picking up something new, your library is here to help you explore without limits. Stop by your favorite Arapahoe Libraries location and discover a challenged book that might become your next favorite.

What's a book that changed your perspective? Tell us in the comments. ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿ“š

โ˜•๐Ÿ‚ Happy International Coffee Day! ๐Ÿ‚โ˜•

What better way to celebrate than with the first day of our fall drink specials?

This season, we're serving up two cozy favorites:

๐ŸŒ™ Harvest Moon Mocha - dark chocolate + sweet orange for a cozy, citrusy twist.
๐Ÿฏ Honey Nut Harvest - salted honey butter, a hint of nutty sweetness and a crunchy cereal topping for that perfect autumn vibe.

Available as a latte, chai, steamer or frost, these limited-time flavors are here through November 21 at the cafes inside Koelbel Library, Smoky Hill Library and The Space.

Whether you're picking up your next great read, attending a program or just stopping by, treat yourself to a sip of fall. ๐Ÿ

๐Ÿ‘‡ Which one are you trying first: Honey Nut Harvest or Harvest Moon Mocha?
