Northwest Jeffco Library Project
Jefferson County Public Library (JCPL) is embarking on an ambitious plan to open a new destination library in the northwest region of Jefferson County to connect our underserved community to library services. This expansion will provide additional access to information and opportunities for all generations and will be adaptable for future growth and economic development.
Project Updates
On June 18, 2026, the future library in northwest Jeffco was officially named Coal Creek Library by the JCPL Board of Trustees. Taking inspiration from the nearby Coal Creek Study Area, opens a new window and Highway 72, also known as Coal Creek Canyon Drive, the name evokes a sense of place and regional identity.
The new name was selected from a larger list of options that were narrowed down to four for input by JCPL staff and community members through an online survey. Coal Creek Library was the overwhelming winner, receiving 46% of the vote.
Thank you to all the staff and community members who took part in this process and shared their voices to shape the future Coal Creek Library!
