The Community
On November 3, 1998, Colorado voters elected to make Broomfield the 64th county in the state. As part of the transition from city to county, the City Council conducted a focus session on building a new library. In January 2000, the council approved the new Library Site Development Plan. Ground-breaking ceremonies were held on October 19, 2000. The expanded 26,410-square-foot library shares a lobby with a 300-seat auditorium, and includes a fireplace, a second-story reading terrace and views of the city park and scenic mountains. Grand-opening celebrations were held on November 10, 2001. This library, located between Spader Way and Main streets on Community Park Road, will be the third building to bear the name Mamie Doud Eisenhower Public Library.
The legal service area of the Mamie Doud Eisenhower Public Library consists of the geographic boundaries of the City and County of Broomfield. Broomfield is primarily a suburban community located between Denver and Boulder, Colorado. Broomfield is one of only two communities in the state that is both a city and a county.
The population of Broomfield in 2010 was approximately 56,700 residents.
