The library's now open, come check it out!

Sept. 19, 2009

Copies of Dan Brown's new thriller, The Lost Symbol, were spirited away by the new library's first patrons. But there are still plenty of other treasures ready for checking out; this is a brand new, modern library with an emphasis on the contemporary and a collection of some 12,000 books. Aside from Brown, other bestselling authors on tap include Jodi Picoult and David Baldacci.

Mayor Maureen Shul

In addition to books (and books on CD), the library offers music, including the popular boy band Jonas Brothers, and a DVD section that features recent blockbusters as well as independent titles like Crossing Over, Harrison Ford's recent immigration drama that was overlooked in theaters.

During the library's ribbon cutting ceremony, the volunteer efforts and community spirit that made the library possible were celebrated by Mayor Shul and Jamie LaRue, Director of Douglas County Libraries.

"Everybody really makes a difference, but what all of you have accomplished is making a difference that is a tangible example that will always be here," said Mayor Shul.

"This is your difference that you've made for our community, for our region, for our county and this will always be here because of your spirit and your dedication," the Mayor said. "You took your passion, your dedication, you put a foundation under it, you put a roof over it, and that's what we celebrate today."

Jamie LaRue,
Director of Douglas County Libraries

The library, located at 7437 Village Square Dr., in the same building as Castle Pines North's city offices, came into being thanks to private fundraising and a persistence of effort that allowed the library's doors to open a mere 10 weeks after the lease was signed.

"In 2007 and 2008, the citizens of Douglas County, you may have noticed, voted down a modest increase in taxes that would have provided for three new libraries," said Jamie LaRue.

"Both times, just incidentally, Castle Pines North residents voted for it overwhelmingly," La Rue said. "That defeat could have meant, and probably should have meant, that Castle Pines didn't get a library. But the citizens of Castle Pines didn't like the vote of the county and they decided to do something about it. Because of your efforts, the library that couldn't be built was built."
