Residents stress need for free-standing library in Conifer JCPL facilities master plan doesn’t include new location along 285 corridor BY DEB HURLEY BROBST DBROBST@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Conifer residents still want a freestanding library, and they reminded the Jefferson County Public Library board of that fact on March 17. Members of the Conifer Area Council, a Conifer library book group and the Aspen Park Improvement Association, along with library users, expressed the need for a separate library rather than the one housed in Conifer High School. Difficult access to the high school and the curtailed hours to use the library were among their chief concerns. The residents spoke during public comment at the library board meeting

before board members began discussing the first draft of a new library facilities master plan, which is updating a plan generated in 2018. The 2018 plan, according to Suzy Nelson, who represented the CAC, recommended the library board explore opportunities to move the Conifer library into its own building. That recommendation isn’t in the draft 2022 plan. The 2022 plan puts Conifer library in a needs-based category with the Golden and Wheat Ridge libraries. Later in the meeting, the consultants said they didn’t have any projects planned for the libraries in this category. The 9,000-square-foot Conifer library has been housed at Conifer High School since the school opened in 1996 and is shared with high school students and staff. In contrast, the 17,000-square-foot Evergreen library, which was built in 1993, will be upgraded soon.
