Wheat Ridge Library Services Project
Envisioning Future Library Services in Wheat Ridge
The Wheat Ridge Library is a small but beloved neighborhood location adjacent to the Seniors Resource Center. With redevelopment underway in the City of Wheat Ridge, there are potential opportunities for Wheat Ridge Library Services to be expanded or reimagined.
The first step of this project is to collect community input. JCPL kicked off community engagement efforts in April to invite patrons and residents of Wheat Ridge to share their voices. The results of these efforts will inform planning and next steps for any new or expanded services.

We want to hear from you! Before any plans can be made, we are asking the Wheat Ridge community to tell us what they love about the Wheat Ridge Library, what services they would like to see and what amenities would bring in new users.
- Wheat Ridge Library patrons and community members can complete an online survey, available April 13 - May 22.

JCPL’s Facilities Master Plan (FMP) guides planning, decision-making and capital investment in our facilities over the next two decades. Based on potential partnership opportunities, Wheat Ridge Library was elevated into group one of our FMP. Wheat Ridge library services is also an active project in JCPL’s 2026 Annual Strategic Plan.
To help guide our decision-making process, JCPL invited Wheat Ridge patrons and residents to share their feedback about library services in Wheat Ridge. Community input will play an important role in shaping future service planning and improvements. -
While JCPL has a lease in place and no current plans to relocate the library, we are actively engaging with the City of Wheat Ridge and community partners to explore potential opportunities for library services. Decisions regarding the location of library service are made by the Library Board of Trustees.
-
The community engagement results will be incorporated into a comprehensive community engagement report, which will be presented to JCPL’s Board of Trustees later this summer. View Board agendas.
