History

The Red Feather Lakes Community Library was established in 1969 by the local women's group with $240 from the Larimer County Commissioners and 250 donated books on shelves from an abandoned store. The original library was located in the basement level of the Red Feather Lakes Property Owner's Association Building. The current location and building was built in 1987 with community donations of land, labor, money and support.

The Red Feather Mountain Library District was approved by voters with a 2.5 mill levy in the Election of November 2000 with funds arriving in January 2001 and is currently one of the smallest library districts in the state of Colorado, covering just 37 square miles.

The Red Feather Mountain Library District was created based on the 3 existing volunteer fire department districts including Red Feather Lakes, Crystal Lakes, and Glacier View Meadows.

A new addition dedicated in August 2005 includes a children's area, community meeting room and art gallery. The expansion nearly doubled the building size to 3163 square feet.

The Library offers many services including a local history section, free high speed Internet access, WiFi, copier, FAX service, audio books, videos and a toy lending library for children. The Library also offers and hosts many programs and events for children, teens and adults.
