The Arapahoe Library District was established in April 1966 to provide public library service to all residents of Arapahoe County, except those living in the cities of Littleton, Englewood and Aurora. Residents of these cities are served by libraries established prior to 1966 that are funded and maintained by their respective city governments. All Arapahoe County residents, however, are free to use any of the libraries in the county. Our branches are: Castlewood Library Jeanne Davies Library Eloise May Library Ann E. Kelver Library Koelbel Library Mobile Library Services Sheridan Library Smoky Hill Library Southglenn Library You can also find us on Facebook, Twitter, and Goodreads.com.
