MAYBE YOU DIDN’T KNOW! All public libraries are part of the Colorado Libraries Collaborate. That means if you get a library card for one system, you can utilize other Colorado public libraries.
Typically, the alternative library will issue you a library card or affix a barcode sticker to your local library card. So if you have a Denver Public Library card, feel free to get one from Arapahoe Libraries or Boulder or any other that might be within a short drive of your home or work.
A few libraries restrict certain perks to residents only, but events are typically open to all, regardless of if you live within the district.
The events listed below include movie nights, concerts, and even a smattering of performing arts classes and is updated monthly. Events are primarily for adults with some open to multiple age groups.
If you have any updates, additions, deletions or closures, send an e-mail to info@milehighonthecheap.com.
NOTE: Some events may be canceled or rescheduled at the last minute, please double-check their calendar or call the branch you are planning to visit before the program if you have any questions about scheduling or attendance requirements.
While we do our best not to include events with full registration lists, events fill up fast so be sure to get in as early as you can to improve your chances of grabbing a seat. If registration for an event is full, many libraries offer waitlist options so don’t forget to check their calendars for additional programs.
