Innovation

Resources for cultivating creativity

Library makerspaces provide free access to tools for creative and industrial projects. From laser cutters and sewing machines to 3D printers and electronics, our makerspaces help residents bring dreams to life. Makerspaces are located at the Boulder Main Library (BLDG 61) and the NoBo Library (STUDIO 24).

Capital Improvements

Building and improving community spaces

Strong communities are built on a foundation of social infrastructure, but the infrastructure part often falls outside the budget. We help pay for building upgrades, playgrounds, meeting spaces, new buildings, and more.

Expanded Outreach & Literacy

Deeper community connections and engagement

Every dollar invested in literacy programs like BoulderReads! returns $30 to the community — through improved public health, engaged parents, knowledgeable workers, and reduced recidivism.
