About
The City of Westminster enjoys a long history of support for, and interest in, public libraries. In 1919, the Westminster Public Library Association was formed. Books were made available to town residents in a millinery shop. The shop's owner, Miss Sadie Anderson, can rightfully be called Westminster's first librarian. Over the next several decades, library services moved from the millinery to a local elementary school to a grocery store to a community church and in 1951, to the then City Hall.
Today's library consists of:
- College Hill Library, located on the Front Range Community College campus.
- Irving Street Library, a neighborhood branch located in the historic south Westminster area
- Online Westminster Library, a digital branch offering 24/7 services to the public
- A library kiosk at the West View Recreation Center
- A library kiosk at City Park Fitness Center
- A library kiosk at The MAC
