About us
The Denver Public Library connects people with information, ideas and experiences to provide enjoyment, enrich lives and strengthen our community. The Library strives to positively impact the community in several Ways, including: Immersing children from birth in literacy-rich environments where they discover the joy of reading and learning, motivating them to achieve and graduate from high school. Improving people's lives by allowing them to acquire the resources and skills needed to prosper and contribute to Denver's economy. Providing a forum where people's lives can be enriched by reading, learning, and engaging in experiences here that make Denver a better place to live. For over a century, the Library has provided educational and entertainment materials to the people of Denver and beyond. Throughout its history, DPL has adapted to meet the changing needs of the community. While books, eBooks, movies, and music still remain important, the Library today acts as a technology hub; a community center where organizations from around the City convene and collaborate; and a welcoming place for lifelong learning. Denver Public Library is funded through the City and County of Denver’s General Fund, and is governed by the eight-member Mayor-appointed Library Commission. The Denver Public Library Friends Foundation, founded in 1940, supports the Library through advocacy and fundraising through memberships, the annual Summer and Winter Used Books Sales, and their signature event, the Booklovers Ball.

The Denver Public Library is reopening the Pauline Robinson Branch Library today. Stop by on Saturday for a community celebration starting at 11 am. I had the chance to see the renovation a few weeks ago and my jaw dropped! Thank you, Denver voters, for believing in our work! And thanks to Denver7 for this coverage and acknowledgment of our new strategic roadmap. A lot of work went into it and we are so excited about the future of DPL. For those of you who love libraries and are interested in the plan, take a peek: https://lnkd.in/eJfnzjHh

The full version of our new 2025-2030 Strategic Plan was released at the Library Commission meeting this week. Called Denver Here, it is an evolution of the previous Strategic Roadmap. Like the previous plan, Denver Here is rooted in the library’s mission, vision, and values and lays a path for the organization over the next six years. DPL will continue to welcome everyone, foster curiosity, strengthen connection, challenge inequity, and honor the public trust. Equity will continue to be embedded and inherent in the library’s work and is highlighted and supported within the Denver Here plan. You can read more about it and find a link to the full plan by clicking below. https://lnkd.in/gbnrfdGx
