The Community

The pioneer spirit, accompanied by the beauty of the mountains, foothills and plains, is gloriously evident in Douglas County. In 1861, the Colorado Territorial Session Laws created Douglas County, named after Stephen A. Douglas. Known as the “Little Giant.”

Today, Douglas County is virtually the geographic center of Colorado. The County is approximately 843 square miles, 71 square miles of which are permanently protected land through the Douglas County Open Space Program. Recreational areas include more than 146,000 acres of Pike National Forest, Roxborough State Park, Castlewood Canyon State Park and the Chatfield State Recreation Area. The County’s strength, as the centerpiece of the Denver/Colorado Springs development corridor, is a perfect blend of quality lifestyle and business environment.

Douglas County Libraries is the fourth-largest library system in Colorado. Our mission is to be a passionate advocate for literacy and lifelong learning, and we play a vital role in the life of our community. We lend more than eight million books, CDs, DVDs, magazines, eBooks, and audiobooks every year, including more children’s material than any other Colorado library.

Douglas County Libraries is consistently ranked among the top public libraries in the nation for the population we serve. We value helpful service to all, exploration and discovery, community connections and innovation. Our seven library branches comprise an independent library district funded by a 4.0 mill levy approved by Douglas County voters in 1996.
