Message from the Executive Director:
Dear Friends and Supporters,
Over the past five years, under our previous strategic plan, the Pueblo City-County Library District served Pueblo by renovating the Rawlings, Barkman, and Lucero Libraries; expanding printed and digital collections; launching device and WiFi hotspot lending; and expanding our impact with signature programs like All Pueblo Reads and Youth Summer Reading.
Much of this work took place during and after the pandemic, a period that reshaped service models and how we do business. We responded with ingenuity and a willingness to meet people where they are—keeping neighborhoods connected, supporting job-seekers and students, and maintaining vibrant public spaces. All of this was made possible by a ballot initiative that continued our funding, passed by voters in 2019.
We aim to be a public entity our community is proud of, serving our community by delivering on investments that give our community a strong return. Over the last five years, we have given the Pueblo community greater access to learning, reliable internet, and civic gathering places.
Our 2026–2030 plan, Future Ready Together, builds on that momentum with expanded digital learning, expanded outreach into our community, future-ready library facilities, data-driven engagement, and long-term fiscal stewardship. We will continue to provide a level of service to our community that continues to make our community proud of the Pueblo City-County Library District.
With gratitude,
Sherri L. Baca, MSLS, MBA
Executive Director, Pueblo City-County Library District
