Each visit to Poudre Libraries holds the promise of something new—a book that sparks imagination, a conversation that builds community, or a program that inspires creativity.
We invite you to explore your interests this month, surrounded by a sense of welcome and belonging. The joy comes not just from what you’ll find on the shelves, but from shared experiences with others that reminds us how joyful it is to belong to a community of readers, learners, and friends. Poudre Libraries is the space to be joyful.
Book Joy
What’s more joyous than finding that book you read as a child and sharing it with your kids? Or finding a new story that pulls on your heartstrings or launches a new adventure? Books are an amazing vehicle for joyful connection. Young readers learn how to connect with people through the stories they read and through characters they see on the pages. Even adults find connection through their experiences with books and libraries—sharing topics of conversation, building common ground through new perspectives, and much more.
Make time this month to browse the shelves and visit the book displays throughout the libraries. Find that one book that brings you joy! Need book recommendations? Talk with library staff or sign up for personalized recommendations and book lists with SelectReads.
