We need your help telling the City to invest in Central Library. Mayor Hancock has released plans for a proposed $450 million Denver infrastructure bond package. The Mayor recommends the bond include funding for 3 branches, but NOT for the Central Library renovation. To finish the first phase of the renovation of Central, $19 MM is needed. This would help build a Teen Space and an Outdoor Play Space at the Central Library.

Join us at the Denver Botanic Gardens on Friday, September 10, in celebration of the reading, music, culture and community made possible by Denver Public Library. Surrounded by the beautiful gardens, you will enjoy a gourmet four-course meal, speciality cocktails, a spoken word poet, live music and more! Tickets are limited!

"The library will need to be more creative and thoughtful about serving our community due to the pandemic. As we plan for unprecedented budget cuts due to the city's revenue loss, a strong Library Fund will allow us to continue offering the level of service our customers need and deserve." -Michelle Jeske, City Librarian
