Prospector is a beloved service highly valued by residents and libraries alike. However, given extensive budget cuts due to the pandemic, Boulder Public Library (BPL) and the Flatirons Library Consortium (FLC) cannot currently afford Prospector’s high expense at $52,000 annually.

As we approach 2021, the Boulder Library Foundation is busy imagining the future of what live concerts will look like. We look forward to having you ‘tune in’ soon!

As COVID-19 quickly shut down our Boulder community, internet access very quickly became a lifeline for Boulder residents. The Boulder Library Foundation, together with the Boulder Public Library, and Boulder Valley School District have worked together to launch the Boulder Public Library Wifi Hotspot Program.

Library staff are the heart and soul that make the Boulder Public Library one of the greatest public assets in our community.  However, due to the COVID-19 crisis, the City of Boulder has been forced to furlough 737 employees. As a result, 70% of the library staff have been furloughed until at least June 28th, 2020. Always eager and ready to help, our beloved librarians could use a helping hand, now more than ever, from the greater Boulder community. 

The Boulder Library Foundation has given so much to Boulder Public Library – and, in turn, our community – over the past 45 years. As the season of giving approaches this year, I invite you to consider supporting the new north Boulder Library by contributing to the Boulder Library Foundation.

Incorporated in 1974, the foundation was formed as a way for people to directly support the library and its programs — outside of the city budgeting process. That support has been critical as library attendance and subsequent programming has grown exponentially while the operating budget has remained relatively unchanged over the last 15 years. Even today, as there is increased conversation about the need to establish permanent and sustainable funding streams for the library, our role and support, as the foundation, has never been more critical as we look to the future.
