With new digital technology and services, Arapahoe Libraries creates the ‘library of the future’ for communities in Colorado

When Dianne Basso moved to Colorado in 2011 after years overseas, she couldn’t wait to get a library membership.

A lifelong reader, Basso had been living in countries where English wasn’t the official language and libraries weren’t very accessible to her. She joined three library systems around Denver and was soon attending library events, going to seminars to learn about online security and various computer programs, and taking the children of refugee families she volunteers with for visits to the library’s children’s section.
