The
Crowley County Combined Community Library is located at 1007 Main Street adjacent to Ward
Middle School in Ordway. The library is housed in an 8200 sq. ft. community
facility constructed in 2004. The library is a joint library resulting from
the combining of the former Ordway Public Library and the Crowley County School
Library.
The facility includes a meeting room, computer lab, children’s room and reading rooms. The library provides to the public its collection of over 20,000 items in various formats plus on-line databases and internet access. Use of the facility’s meeting room may be scheduled in advance at the desk or by calling 719.267.3823.
The catalog is online at www.coloradonexus.org/ccl. Patrons may check their accounts and place items on hold on-line. The library is a Colorado Library Card participant and, as such, honors cards patrons hold at other libraries. The library also offers Inter Library Loan. A curb-side book drop is available. Items may be renewed by phone or e-mail (library@cck12.net).
The library also provides various cultural and educational programs throughout the year.
Visit with a library representative by call 719.267.3823.
