One extraordinary highlight stands out for the Denver Public Library in 2017: Denver voters said yes to the library renovation measure, 2E, approving $69.3 million for renovations at ten branch locations and the Central Library. This funding will allow us to better serve our customers, take care of long overdue maintenance to our facilities and modernize our buildings. We thank you—the voters—for passing 2E to ensure that we serve our community with the best library services possible. We believe our most exciting work is ahead.

In 2017, we connected millions of customers to information, ideas and experiences. Over four million people walked through our doors, checking out some nine million items and attending thousands of programs; we also had 10 million online visits.

Behind every statistic is a personal journey. In this year’s Annual Report, several customers share their stories about how the library made a difference in their lives. One customer is Shanae Leffall who comes to the new ideaLAB at the Hampden Branch Library with her two young sons. The ultimate makerspace offers a place where adults can build a website or etch with the laser cutter, and kids can learn STEM concepts through creative expression.

We are privileged to serve our customers and delight in their personal triumphs.

We are also profoundly grateful to each of you for your support of the library and the Friends Foundation and to our volunteers who donated more than 100,000 hours of service. Without you, we could not serve the community as well. Your support allows us to continue making dramatic impacts on Denver and directly improve the lives of our friends, families and neighbors.

On a sunny April morning, Xiaochang Duan raises his right hand and takes the Oath of Allegiance at the naturalization ceremony at the Denver Central Library. Along with 78 others from 40 different countries, the native of the Republic of China promises to abide by the laws of this country. In a ceremony that brings many to tears, he becomes a United States citizen. Each year, the Denver Public Library and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services host the naturalization

ceremony. Soon-to-be citizens and guests stand for the Presentation of Colors, the singing of the Star Spangled Banner and the posting of the flags. At the Denver Public Library, we offer support to new immigrants, including citizenship classes, second language conversation skills, business networking and more. The library’s Plaza programming is tailored to meet the needs of immigrant, refugee and asylee populations. Plazas are a

dedicated space for migrants from all over the world to connect with people, information and resources, building Denver’s successful global community. It is a special moment when the oath is administered, the Pledge of Allegiance is recited and congratulations are shared. “I am excited and happy,” Xiaochang says, smiling and holding his Certificate of United States Citizenship.

Two-year-old Cooper Robinson’s first experience at Storytime during Summer of Adventure was a joyous one. His mom, Brittany Robinson, says that in the beginning, he was apprehensive, but once he warmed up to the crowd, “there was no stopping him.” He went around and said hi to all the other kids. And he adored the story. Cooper participated in the library’s Summer of Adventure program in the preschool category which is geared

toward completing activities with parents or guardians. With his mom and dad, Cooper completed enough activities to claim his treasured prize of two board books: Dear Zoo and Rain Feet. Our signature Summer of Adventure program keeps kids engaged and learning all summer by encouraging reading, providing fun incentives and offering free programs and events. Brittany adds, “We always read together as a family, but during

Summer of Adventure we go full tilt as the kiddos enjoy going to the library together to pick out books and attend programs,” Big sis Reese, age nine, also participated in the program and even reads to Cooper before bedtime. If Cooper has anything to say about it, he requests a book from his favorite series, Elephant and Piggie.

Shanae Leffall and her two sons, Aiden, 5, and Antonio, 13, love the ideaLAB at the Hampden Branch Library so much she jokes, “They have to kick us out when it closes!”

The boys discovered the makerspace first but it wasn’t long after that they convinced their mom to give it a try. Now, they all come to the lab nearly every minute it’s open, and the entire family works on projects. Even their uncle joins in the fun.

The library’s ideaLAB is the

ultimate makerspace for all ages and abilities. Here, customers can do everything from using Photoshop to working with the laser cutter, a versatile tool that can cut wood, leather and acrylic. With enough sophisticated equipment and software to make any tech-lover swoon, users can create videos, games and more. Customers spend hours using the sewing machine stitching to their heart’s content or on the Cricut machine, creating stickers and paper art.

“Kids and adults love coming to the lab,” says library program associate Jared Wilson. “We are very proud of the fact that we have developed a safe environment where everyone can learn and find their creative outlet.”

Shanae says one of the best things about the lab—in addition to providing unlimited opportunities—is that the family has bonded. If Aiden’s grin is any indication, hanging out with Mom is high on the list, too.

From a $69.3 million bond issue to innovative ways to sell used books, the Denver Public Library Friends Foundation celebrated many successes in 2017.

Highlights include:

y The passage of Ballot Measure 2E, approving $69.3 million for renovations at the Central Library and ten branches. The Friends Foundation was proud to support the measure by sending representatives to community gatherings and funding campaign activities to spread the word about this important issue, and we are grateful to Denver’s voters for their overwhelming support.

y The first full year of the Red Chair Bookshop at the Central Library, a cozy beloved store filled with books, CDs, DVDs and one-of-a-kind library souvenirs. Staffed by volunteers, the shop is a favorite of locals and tourists. We have also expanded our efforts by selling books and materials online in addition to our two popular annual book sales.

y The energy and devotion displayed by our board of trustees, which underwent an intensive strategic planning process to better define and expand upon the work of the foundation. The Friends are now prepared to launch a major gift effort to greatly increase the reach of the foundation and better fund critical library endeavors.

y Hosted a successful Booklovers Ball, our iconic black-tie gala. Our theme was Bond, which reflected not only the city’s bond measure, but also the books and films of Ian Fleming. Our enthusiastic crowd of 700 guests resulted in a 38 percent net revenue increase.

y The launch of the Loyalty Circle, which honors the 300+ donors who have given to the Friends Foundation for ten or more consecutive years. Our loyal supporters enjoyed a luncheon highlighted by a presentation of rare artifacts from our own Western History and Genealogy collection.

These efforts enable the Foundation to support the library’s Summer of Adventure program, which attracts over 30,000 children and teens throughout the summer; Read Aloud, which sends volunteers to read in preschools in at-risk neighborhoods; digitization programs in the Western History and Genealogy Department; and the purchase of thousands of new books and materials for the library system.

We are grateful for our donors’ support and for our many Friends Foundation members, and we look forward to a strong and successful 2018.

Sincerely,

A Message from the Denver Public Library
