The Community

Rampart Library District serves the communities of the RE-2 School District in Teller County, specifically Woodland Park, Divide, Florissant as well as unincorporated areas, a population of about 17,500. Patrons are frequently from bordering areas in Park County, Douglas County, El Paso County and the rest of Teller County. Summer residents come from out of state to enjoy the active lifestyle and scenic beauty of Pikes Peak and the Rampart Range. The main library is located in Woodland Park and is a gathering place for the residents and is actually the reason why some have relocated or retired to the “City Above the Clouds”. Rampart Library District has a branch library in Florissant about 15 miles to the west of Woodland Park. Our communities are very important to us and we reach out to meet needs in every way we can. We try to provide “Something for Everyone.”
