If you live in Jefferson County, you have access to a wide range of resources and tools provided by your local library system.
Although some of the main services such as renting out books and movies with a library card are pretty well known, we wanted to provide a list of many other opportunities that the Jefferson County Public Library (JCPL) offers!
Here are some of the best resources available at your local Jeffco Library you may not have heard about:
Computer Classes
Whether you are someone who has never felt “tech-savvy” and need a few quick lessons on using computers properly, or you have a specific question on a computer software or online searching, JCPL has free classes you can join at a variety of locations!
Topics range from using Google Docs and Microsoft programs to email, job hunting and more! You can learn more about their computer classes online here.
Culture Pass
By far one of the best services JCPL provides is the Culture Pass! This is your “ticket” to participating metro-area cultural institutions, such as the Colorado State Parks, the Butterfly Pavilion, several museums and other arts centers.
With a JCPL library card, you can reserve a Culture Pass online up to 30 days in advance. Be sure to check out the details, instructions and other reservation requirements on the JCPL website!
Servicios en Español
If someone you know is a native Spanish speaker living in the Jefferson County area, they may not know about the many classes, events and other resources available to them in Spanish through JCPL!
Invite them to discover the resources, programs and more available online here.
Meeting & Study Rooms
Need a quiet place to work on a project? Have a hard time finding a good local place to meet with others?
Several of the Jeffco libraries offer small study rooms, as well as large meeting rooms available free of charge! Small study rooms can be used for up to 2 hours per day, hold up to six people and can be reserved up to 30 days in advance. Larger meeting rooms can be reserved up to 60 days in advance!
Check out the information on the JCPL website to learn about the available locations, meeting room policies, and other FAQs.
Computers, WiFi and Printing
With a valid library card you can reserve a computer at the library to use for research, job and college applications, and more! JCPL also offers laptops available for use at the Belmar, Columbine and Golden locations.
You also can use the WiFi networks and hot spots to connect to the internet for free! Other great technology services available include: printing, scanning and faxing. Visit JCPL’s website to learn more!
