Douglas County Libraries is uniting with Coats for Colorado and the Task Force of Douglas County to provide food and warmth for families this winter.

Throughout the month of November, Douglas County Libraries will gather gently used and new coats for those who need them this winter as part of the Coats for Colorado program. In addition, all library fines collected Nov. 15 - 28 will be donated to the Douglas County Task Force to stock their food bank and feed local families. Those without fines wishing to make a donation may do so during the same time. Checks can be made out to the Task Force of Douglas County. Please bring your used coats or pay your fines at any of our library branches:
