Arapahoe Public Library

Arapahoe Public Library This is the official Arapahoe Public Library page. Books were acquired through donations and contributions towards new ones.

The Arapahoe Public Library was established in 1919 due to the volunteer efforts of the Arapahoe Womenโ€™s Club. Finding a home for the library took some time, but the doors of the library were opened in 1920 in downtown Arapahoe. The library moved to ten different locations throughout Arapahoe until 1984 when the city purchased the former Peace Lutheran Church edifice and bequeathed it to the gover

ning board of the Arapahoe Public Library. With the help of fundraising efforts and the hard work of community members, the former church property was converted from a place of worship into a public library. In 2021 the library benefited once again from the hard work of volunteers and donors during a major renovation. A new 1,700 square feet addition was added with 1,200 square feet of major renovations. A drive-up service lane was added along with a new community/programming room, new entrance/exit, new bathrooms, new circulation desk, and updated lighting, electrical and fiber throughout.
