The Community

The soaring mountain views outside the wall of windows at the Conifer Library are echoed in the high ceiling and spacious feeling inside. Sharing a mountain perch with Conifer High School, visitors to this library feel like they're on top of the world. It is a bold setting and the Conifer Library symbolizes a bold concept: sharing a collection and a building with a school in order to bring public library services to a whole community. During the school day this is the school library, a fact reflected in the teen magazine collections a visitor sees first. When school is out, the library converts to a public library and welcomes everyone, from toddler to senior citizen.
