#LoveMyCOLibrary Summer 2017

In the summer of 2017, the Colorado State Library invited Coloradans to use the hashtag #LoveMyCOLibrary on social media to share what they love about their libraries. We received dozens of creative entries that celebrate the unique relationship that libraries have with their communities. Here are some of our favorites!

"We love our library because we have amazing teen volunteers who help us get ready for our 4th of July parade float!" -East Morgan County Library

Teens and staff at East Morgan County Library loved getting silly while building a parade float.

"A lovely day to make fairy and gnome houses outside for Messy Monday!" -Crested Butte Library

Several libraries sent photos of their summer learning events, like these kids crafting at Crested Butte Library.

These Summer Science Campers at Vail Public Library loved learning about weather and barometers.
