Deer Creek Library Project
Jefferson County Public Library (JCPL) is embarking on an ambitious plan to open a new Library destination in the southern region of Jefferson County to provide greater access to resources, information, and opportunities for every generation.
Project Updates
Help Create a Community Art Piece for the New Library
Calling artists of all ages and skill levels! The Deer Creek Library design team is seeking drawings inspired by Colorado nature. Submitted drawings will be considered for incorporation into a larger art piece in the future library. We're excited to include community contributions into this fun step of the design phase.
Learn more about drawing requirements and submission details. All artwork must be submitted no later than September 27.
Interim Services
During the community engagement process, it became clear that patrons in the area were ready for library services right away. In response, we launched interim services in May 2025 at the Deer Creek Library’s future location (11100 Bradford Rd., Littleton, CO 80127). We have continued to expand programming since then.
Story Times, hands-on activities and a book group are just some of the onsite programs offered every month at the upcoming library. The Bookmobile also offers on-site services on Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., including books and DVDs available for checkout, Wi-Fi, library card registration and help from friendly librarians. The Ken Caryl returns bin was relocated to this site as well and is available 24/7.
Board and Public Discussion
This project will be discussed during the 2026 Board Meetings. Read about the latest updates, submit a comment to the Board or find attendance information.

JCPL’s site search process encompassed several routes for finding and exploring sites, including JCPL driving tours of the area, working with a commercial realtor, pursuing suggestions from the community and advisory council, conversations with community stakeholders, reviewing Jeffco school closures, and pursuing opportunities for partnerships and sites that were not on the market.Â
JCPL considered 50 properties within five broad categories: Repurposing an industrial building, repurposing a school or place of worship, partnering with a developer for a library combined with affordable housing, using a retail storefront, and purchasing open land.

In addition to physical and digital library materials, the Library will provide community resources such as meeting space, Wi-Fi, computer access, programs and events, and more. JCPL will conduct facilitated community engagement in early 2025 to give the public an opportunity to provide feedback on desired library services, resources and design.
