Conifer Library Opportunity

Conifer Library is getting a new home!

In July 2024 the JCPL Board of Trustees approved a 10-year lease at 27122 Main Street in Conifer to be the new Conifer Library home. Since 1996, the library has been housed within the Conifer High School. Through extensive community engagement efforts in 2022 and 2023, we learned that the demands for library services exceed what the current offering could provide.

The new home of the Conifer Library is expected to be complete in September 2025.

Project Updates

Construction is well underway with walls formed and drywall installed! The schedule is still on track, and we anticipate the opening of the new library in September 2025.

The Intergovernmental Agreement to partner with the Conifer High School was dissolved this summer, and the Conifer High School Library will open this fall for the exclusive use of its students. The Conifer Library in the Conifer High School will close permanently on Friday, August 15 at 5 p.m. to prepare for the opening of our new location.

All Conifer holds not picked up by closing on August 15 will be moved to the nearby Evergreen Library at 5000 County Hwy 73, Evergreen, CO 80439. Conifer holds will be available starting August 17 at Evergreen Library. Patrons can also change their hold pickup location to the nearby Mountain Resource Holds Locker or any of our other locations. If you have questions about your holds, please contact the Library or ask Evergreen Library staff.

Save the Date

The Conifer Library Grand Opening celebration is set for Saturday, September 13 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Come see the new library space, sign up for a library card, register for self-service access, grab a gift (while supplies last) and a treat.
