  • Colorado Children's Campaign
    COLORADO CHILDREN’S CAMPAIGN ORA OL D C O C N H G I I L A D P R M E N A ’ C S 2010 Annual Report Celebrating 25 Years as the Voice for Colorado’s Children Creating hope and opportunity in Colorado, more than one million kids at a time. In 2010, the Colorado Children’s Campaign was proud to celebrate our 25th anniversary. This significant milestone led us to think about how the Children’s Campaign came to be, what is most important to us today, and our vision for the future. At the time of the Children’s Campaign’s founding in 1985, there were about 850,000 kids in Colorado, and their numbers and needs were growing. That year, a group of concerned citizens came together and asked the question, “Who is speaking on behalf of and exclusively for our children?” The answer was that while some people were talking about some particular groups of children with unique needs, no one was speaking on behalf of all of Colorado’s children, despite the fact that almost every other constituency had representation. Colorado children needed a voice, and so became the Colorado Children’s Campaign. Since then, the Children’s Campaign has served as the leading voice for all of Colorado’s children at the state Capitol and in communities across the state. Working with lawmakers, direct service providers, advocacy partners, and community leaders, the Children’s Campaign’s goal is to improve the lives of kids in the areas of health, education, and early childhood development.

  • Annual Report 2016 Free and Equal Access for All
    ANNUAL REPORT 2016 FREE AND EQUAL ACCESS FOR ALL. MESSAGE FROM OUR LEADERSHIP In 2016, customers made four million in-person visits and 13 million online visits to the Denver Public Library, checking out some nine million items. Here are a few more numbers that make our hearts sing: Abby Goodman attended 144 programs at 18 different library locations, and even a few beyond our buildings. We love it that Abby is a super user. Like clockwork, Sandra LaBella spent two hours every Thursday for three months in our SM Energy ideaLAB at the Central Library, learning how to build a website for her physical therapy practice. She credits library staff with teaching her the skills she needed to succeed. Finally, through our Career Online High School program, at age 35, Cory Wicks earned one precious document: a diploma. The father of two admits he made mistakes early in life, but was determined to earn his degree. While juggling two jobs and raising his kids, finding time to study was a challenge. But he persevered. And on a warm September evening, Cory proudly accepted his diploma along with six other graduates in a packed house at the Rodolfo “Corky” Gonzales Branch Library. The heavy equipment operator hopes to continue his education, perhaps one day becoming a supervisor. It’s a privilege to be part of our customers’ lives and we beam over their successes. In 2016, we also reaffirmed our role in the community as a place for free and equal access, serving and welcoming people from all walks of life.

With a great sense of excitement, we opened the long-awaited Rodolfo “Corky” Gonzales Branch Library in West Denver in February. Curious crowds poured into the library to admire the sleek new facility. This is the third and final branch funded by the 2007 Better Denver Bond Program. The bond also funded the Sam Gary Branch and the Green Valley Ranch Branch. In 2015, we connected millions of customers to information, ideas and experiences. More than four million people walked through our doors and 12 million customers visited us online. Customers checked out some nine million items and attended thousands of programs. Many customers came to the library for the first time ever to get help with a job search, log on to a computer, learn how to knit or code, or find just the right book— all without spending a dime. Behind every statistic is a personal journey. In this year’s Annual Report, several customers share their stories. We are privileged to serve our customers and delight in their personal triumphs. We are profoundly grateful to each of you for your support and to our volunteers who donated more than 100,000 hours of service. Without you, we could not serve the community as well.
