The Broomfield Library shares a lobby with the 300-seat Broomfield Auditorium, and includes a fireplace, second story reading terrace, and views of the city park, town plaza, and scenic mountains.
The first meeting to establish a public library for Broomfield was held December 2, 1959. A Library Board of Trustees was appointed, the library incorporated and by-laws were written in January 1960.
The library opened in donated space with furnishings provided by service clubs and organizations. The Colorado State Library loaned the Broomfield Library 600 - 2,000 books at a time for many years until the collection was established.
In 1961 Bal Swan and the Turnpike Land Company donated land at #12 Garden Center for the first permanent library building. The Library moved into the 3,226 square-foot building March 15, 1963.
On November 10, 2001, the current 28,409 square foot library opened, located between Lamar and Main on Community Park Road.
Working in partnership with the community, the City and County of Broomfield provides excellent services in an efficient, respectful, and courteous manner to enhance and protect the environment and quality of life of Broomfield citizens.
