The Community
Eaton is a rural town on the high plains of Colorado, about one hour north of Denver. The library serves a population of about 7,500 residents. Eaton Public Library is a member of the High Plains Library District and has it's own dedicated property tax based funding and a Board of Trustees. The library has recently expanded and wants to maximize its use by the community through expanded programming. Eaton enjoys a rural lifestyle but is in easy reach of larger communities that offer more diverse activities and college lifestyles like Fort Collins and Greeley.
