Libraries in Aurora
For most of history reading and literacy was a privilege reserved exclusively for the wealthy, elite, ruling classes. The creation of public libraries changed history forever by opening up reading, knowledge and learning to the public. Libraries are an essential tool and resource for lifelong learning and helping people get ahead, regardless of where they start in life.Do you know about AskColorado?This is a FREE online chat with information experts from Colorado's libraries.
www.askcolorado.org Four Aurora public libraries closed as of Dec. 31
Four of Aurora's seven public libraries closed at the end of 2009 because the city's 2010 budget only includes funding for three libraries. A ballot question defeated in the November election would have created a separate funding mechanism for the libraries via a Library General Improvement District.
As of Dec. 31, Mission Viejo, Hoffman Heights, Iliff Square and Chambers Plaza libraries have shut down permanently. Despite the reductions in staff and operations, the Aurora Public Library will continue to provide the best possible service to customers at the remaining three libraries.
