Library Mission

The Grand County Public Library is a community center that provides access to information, materials, and services to all members of the community to stimulate imaginations and encourage lifetimes of learning.

Library Roles

• The library collects and maintains materials that are popular, relevant and/or current for patrons of all ages.
• Libraries, communities, and methods of retrieving information are improving and changing rapidly. The library attempts to keep our computers, technology, and internet access consistent with patron needs and requests.
• The library provides programs, materials, and services related to emergent literacy, and the library collaborates with local agencies to promote best practices for creating lifelong readers in our community.
• Research tools such as databases, microfilm, Interlibrary Loan, local government information, and the internet are provided. The library provides help and training to teach people how to best utilize these resources.
• The library strives to be a comfortable and appealing place for people to frequent and provides meeting room space for nonprofit entities and community groups.
