Passwords Coming Soon

February is National Library Lovers Month! As much as you love your local library, we love your privacy. Reading history, your email address, phone number, or home address are all things you want to keep private. Libraries have a long history of protecting the privacy of library lovers. Starting on March 28th, 2023 we are implementing passwords on the library catalog to help keep your information private. Each library patron will have a default password to get started, and will be prompted to reset the default password to a password of your choosing. As we get closer to March 28th, we will send additional information about what your default password will be along with instructions on how to reset your password. Library staff will be happy to help any library lover get set with your new password. Just remember, we love your privacy!

Borrow Equipment From Your Library

Expanding Library Hours

Way back in November of 2019 the citizens of Garfield County graciously voted to increase the District's funding so that we could expand staff and service hours. Then came the pandemic. We were able to expand key staffing positions but had to put expanded hours on hold.

Easier Online Access to Magazines

Libby: The one tap reading app from our library.

Borrowing digital materials from the libraries just got easier! What was once done through multiple apps can be done all in one place with the Libby App powered by OverDrive. Here you will be able to borrow e-books and e-audiobooks as well as magazines.

Garfield County Libraries Go Fine Free to Start the New Year

As we ring in the New Year, your Garfield County Libraries will ring in a new age of library access for the community. The Library Board recently decided to eliminate charges for overdue materials. This comes as a result of library staff continuing to look for ways to remove barriers in connecting residents with the books and information they need to live happy, healthy lives.
