The Boulder Community Library is one of the four fabulous community libraries in Jefferson County. It offers books, audiobooks, DVDs, internet access, online reference catalogs, in-house programming and much more.
Everyone is welcome at the library. We are proud to offer a warm and safe space for storytime, a space for students to learn and discover and a space for patrons of all ages to try a new skill or get active in new ways. As always, it’s free to use the library services and get a library card.
Things are always happening at the library! Not only do we offer amazing library materials and services such as WiFi hotspots for patron checkout, the Montana Shared Catalog app, free research databases, but we also offer amazing programs for the public and patrons of all ages, including youth storytimes, lego club, STEM, craft and painting classes, and Tai Chi exercise class.
