The Community

Grand County is located high in the Rockies about an hour’s drive from Denver. The population is approximately 13,000 served by five branch libraries in each of the main communities: Fraser/Winter Park, Granby, Grand Lake, Hot Sulphur Springs and Kremmling. Each branch has its distinct flavor and reflects the population served, from the resort based economy in the east to the more rural town of Kremmling in the west. Library customers include full time, year-round residents, second home owners and the many visitors to the mountains.
