This is an ideal opportunity for an individual that is interested in gaining valuable skills in youth development and community outreach.

HPLD includes of seven branch libraries located in Erie, Firestone, Greeley, Evans and Kersey; Outreach Services including a Bookmobile, a Lobby Stop Van, and public computer centers; and six autonomous municipal libraries in Ault, Eaton, Fort Lupton, Hudson, Johnstown and Platteville. The mission of the District is to connect communities to inspiration, information, and entertainment for life. The vision of HPLD is to continue building on its solid reputation for quality public library services. HPLD wants to increase overall participation and unite residents by being so connected to our communities that the library: becomes everyone’s first and best choice for life-long learning; is seen as a necessary and important community asset and is a community destination and gathering place. Every year, HPLD offers a Summer Reading Adventure to encourage healthy summer reading habits in kids. The goal of the Summer Reading Adventure is to foster personal growth and development, promote a passion for reading, and support family literacy.
