All CCPL locations will be closed for an all-day staff training on Monday, October 14. We will reopen for regular hours on Tuesday, October 15.
The Westminster Branch will open at 1 PM on Friday, October 11, 2024, so new furniture can be installed. We apologize for the inconvenience.
We invite families to come take a walk with us and enjoy our Story Strolls! Story Strolls are free family-friendly activities that the whole family can enjoy together and bond through literacy while spending time outdoors exploring our community parks. There are 20 stations along the stroll with activities that families can do to interact with the book. The average time to complete a stroll is 30 minutes. Featured books along the Story Strolls will be rotated.
