Support for the Nederland Library ensures that people of all ages and backgrounds can use the library resources year round and that the library can continue to provide enrichment programs and activities for all ages. Last year, we raised funding to help the library develop the land to the east of the main building - giving our community even more space to enjoy as a Reading Garden! The ribbon cutting marked the grand opening, the benches and stage are in place, but there is still more work to do to make our garden grow. We also helped fund an International Exchange with our sister library in the Netherlands, a 10-day homestay exchange that took place this summer. Your support allows us to help fund amazing programs every year!
"My first grader joined the Summer Reading Program offered at our local library in our small town in Colorado. I will join it every year and when my daughter get's old enough, I will have her join too! The summer reading program is great since it helps my son get excited about reading. It also helps him get motivated to read including getting him ready for the school start in Fall. " TH
"My children love the library! Whenever we go past it, they point it out and ask if we can stop. They love to read, and to check out the children's area. There are so many fun programs to engage in, for children and for adults. The library events really helps me feel involved in the community." PS
The Nederland Community Library Foundation raises funds to ensure the continued excellence of public library services for the present and future generations of Nederland and the surrounding communities.
We help promote and advocate the use and enjoyment of the Nederland Community Libarary, while seeking funding to benefit the NCL's collection, educational programs, and other services.
In 2001, members of the Nederland community expressed the desire to have a local library. The Nederland Community Library Foundation was created shortly thereafter with the goals of creating and financially supporting a library district. Since then, the foundation has successfully helped the Nederland Community Library District first to open a library and then to purchase land on which to build its own building. The foundation sponsored a successful campaign to finance the construction of a library building, which opened in January 2011. In August 2012 the Foundation and the Library jointly purchased an adjacent vacant lot to meet future growth needs. In 2024, the Reading Garden was opened on the eastern parcel. Usage of the library by local residents and visitors has grown steadily over the years.
Thank you for the support you provide to our beloved Nederland Community Library!
