Library hours are Tuesday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
There is no charge to use the library. Museum admission is not necessary.
All materials are used in the library. Items cannot be checked out.
Because much of the collection is old, library staff provides a copy service. Some items may be too fragile to copy. Copies are ready within 48 hours and can be picked up or mailed.
Microfilm reader/printers are available for viewing and copying newspapers.
Our online catalog, indexes and study guides are available on the website http://colorado history.org in the LIBRARY pages. Visit the Kid’s Page on the website for online biographies.
