Library Seeks Input on New Branch Name

The Denver Public Library welcomes suggestions from the community to name the new branch library at Green Valley Ranch, scheduled to open in Spring 2011. The Library will consider all ideas for the new branch name including names of individuals, groups, geographic location or other entities.

To learn more about the new branch library, visit http://denverlibrary.org/.

Naming suggestions that recognize an individual will be considered for a person who has provided extraordinary service to the Denver Public Library as a staff member, a distinguished person who has provided extraordinary service to the Library or anyone who otherwise merits special recognition.

Names of individuals currently employed or employed within the past five years by the Denver Public Library, the City of Denver, the State of Colorado or elected officials currently serving in office will not be considered.

Submissions should outline the reasons why the name should be considered. For individuals, please include examples of extraordinary service and why they merit special recognition. All suggestions should include contact information for the person formally submitting the recommendation.

Supporting documentation should not exceed 500 words and will be accepted through Wednesday, September 1. Please submit suggestions electronically to dplcommunity@denverlibrary.org, by fax to 720-865-2081, or by mail to:

Community Relations
Denver Public Library
10 W. 14th Ave Pkwy
Denver, CO 80204-2731

The Library Commission will make the final selection of the Branch name at their September 16 meeting.
