Countdown to Your New Library!

This summer will mark the opening of the long-awaited expansion and renovation of the Bud Werner Memorial Library. Echoing the intent of the present library to serve as a memorial to local ski legend Buddy Werner, the main floor of the library will be renovated into a beautiful community meeting room while a 25,000 sq. ft. addition will be added to accommodate inviting public spaces and vibrant collections.

The Library is also committed to sustainable building design and will be seeking a Silver LEEDs certificate. This effort will possibly make the Bud Werner Memorial Library the first public library in Colorado to have achieved such a high level of certification.
