For immediate release: January 28, 2020

Starting Friday, February 14, Douglas County Libraries (DCL) in Roxborough (8357 N. Rampart Range Rd., #200) will get some TLC in the form of scheduled maintenance and updates throughout the library. Due to those updates, the library will be closed from February 14 through Friday, February 21. The refreshed branch will reopen at 9 a.m. on Saturday, February 22.

During the library closure, customers will have options for managing their holds and returns, enjoying Storytime, and reserving meeting and study space.

• Holds – Library customers who normally pick up held items at Roxborough can send their holds to other DCL branches, or suspend them until the library reopens on February 22.
• Returns – Book drops will be closed during the closure. Customers can either keep their borrowed items until the library reopens or return them to another DCL location. No fines will be assessed for borrowed items during that week. Due dates for items checked out in late January will be extended to accommodate the closure.
• Storytime – Storytimes will be held at Atlas Coffee in Sterling Ranch (8155 Piney River Ave.) on Tuesday, February 18, at 10 a.m. (all ages) and Wednesday, February 19, at 9:30 a.m. (for babies 0-2), and at West Metro Fire Station 15 (6220 N. Roxborough Dr.) on Thursday, February 20, at 10 a.m. (for all ages). Customers may also attend Storytime at any other DCL location during the closure. Visit DCL.org/storytime for information.
• Meeting and Study Rooms – Our spaces in Roxborough will be closed February 14-21. Reservations may be made at other DCL locations via DCL.org/reserve-a-space.

Book donations will also be suspended during the closure. DCL in Roxborough will accept donations again upon the branch’s reopening, February 22.

Douglas County Libraries is once again offering fun and educational spring break camps for kids March 16-20, and more flexibility for parents with the new option to choose the half-day camps or a full-day camp that meets their needs. Registration is now open for the weeklong camps at Douglas County Libraries in Highlands Ranch, Lone Tree and Parker.

“In the past, we offered half-day camps or full-day camps, but this year we’re giving parents the chance to mix it up,” said Douglas County Libraries Special Events Coordinator Kristen Kallio. “We understand that choice is important, so parents now have the option to choose between the half-day camps or a full-day camp at our selected locations.”

The library’s spring day camps give kids ages 5-10 a rich learning experience as they explore cooking, LEGO engineering, and art with experts from Sticky Fingers, Snapology and KidzArt. Through a variety of hands-on activities, campers will have the chance to learn new skills, share experiences with new friends, gain confidence, and more!

Half-day camps are offered in morning and afternoon sessions and cost $175 per camper, and full-day camps are 9 a.m.-4:30 p.m. each day for $315 per camper—a 10% discount. While Camp DCL is budget-friendly for families, scholarships may be available from the Douglas County Libraries Foundation for qualified applicants.

To register for Camp DCL or to learn more about the spring break camps and scholarship opportunities, visit DCL.org/camp-dcl or call (303) 688-7627.

Douglas County Libraries will also offer a variety of weeklong half- and full-day summer camps for kids ages 5-11 from June 1-July 31. Registration for summer camps begins Monday, March 2, 2020.
