The Community
The Town of Eaton Colorado’s Public Library is a small-town library with big support and big participation. We have a collaborative team, a tight-knit community, and a newly remodeled, historic facility with the latest makerspace technology. What we’re looking for is community-centered, innovative, dedicated staff to grow our team. Get away from the city; be part of a dynamic and active library in a beautiful little town on the northern plains of Colorado.
Located in Eaton, Colorado, the Eaton Public Library has grown from a small brick library constructed in 1911 to a 13,000 square foot, updated modern library. Staff and patrons love the historical feel of our library which was named after Benjamin Eaton, a former governor and credited with bringing irrigation to Weld County. As a member library of High Plains Library District, we enjoy solid funding to offer competitive salaries, extensive programs and up-to-date collections while maintaining local authority over our policies and services. Our library is located 5 miles north of Greeley, home to the University of Northern Colorado. Fort Collins, home to Colorado State University and a convenient gateway to enjoying the Rocky Mountains is only a 25-mile drive on uncrowded roads. We are near bike trails, the Pawnee Grassland, numerous public parks, and recreational opportunities.
Eaton is a town of roughly 6,000 residents nestled in highly productive farmland in Northern Colorado and has a proud history of recognizing and harmonizing with the various agricultural entities that surround the Town while meeting the needs of the growing population to make it a great place to live and raise a family. Eaton has been nationally recognized for the last three years as one of the top 3 safest communities in Colorado and is host to a highly accredited public-school system, operated by the Eaton School District RE-2, with a new high school facility. We are proud to have graduated three NFL football players and to celebrate our local schools as the heart of our community.
