Sharing Ideas, Connecting the Community, & Providing Information
About
Welcome to the Hamby-Burns Library, where our mission is to share ideas, connect with the community, and provide patrons with information. We are a fictional library located in the gorgeous town of Boulder, Colorado. The 32,000 square-foot library was founded in 2015 and provides services for over 100,000 community members in the town of Boulder. Of the 100,000 residents, 21% of the households have children under the age of 18; 4% of the children are ages five and under. We have a wide array of storytimes and programs for families of all ages.
The main topic of this website is children's programing for families of all ages. Please take a moment to explore our site and if you have any questions our help desk is open Monday-Saturday 9:00 am to 8:00 pm and Sundays 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm.
