About us
The Denver Public Library connects people with information, ideas and experiences to provide enjoyment, enrich lives and strengthen our community. The Library strives to positively impact the community in several Ways, including: Immersing children from birth in literacy-rich environments where they discover the joy of reading and learning, motivating them to achieve and graduate from high school. Improving people's lives by allowing them to acquire the resources and skills needed to prosper and contribute to Denver's economy. Providing a forum where people's lives can be enriched by reading, learning, and engaging in experiences here that make Denver a better place to live. For over a century, the Library has provided educational and entertainment materials to the people of Denver and beyond. Throughout its history, DPL has adapted to meet the changing needs of the community. While books, eBooks, movies, and music still remain important, the Library today acts as a technology hub; a community center where organizations from around the City convene and collaborate; and a welcoming place for lifelong learning. Denver Public Library is funded through the City and County of Denver’s General Fund, and is governed by the eight-member Mayor-appointed Library Commission. The Denver Public Library Friends Foundation, founded in 1940, supports the Library through advocacy and fundraising through memberships, the annual Summer and Winter Used Books Sales, and their signature event, the Booklovers Ball.

It's Teentober! We recognize that though there are many stressors involved in navigating the teenage years, the library can be what we often refer to as a “third space”, neither school, nor home. And so, we have chosen to highlight the library during the month of October as a place where teens are welcome to be themselves and will find adults looking to support them. Learn more and find resources at the link below. https://lnkd.in/gB_MX6Mk

Another hiring announcement here! I'm in the process of restructuring the Denver Public Library's Strategy & Evaluation team to best support our organization and this means shifting from having a manager oversee the work to having two Management Analyst Supervisor's with a dual focus - supervising a small team of high-performing individual contributors and performing high-complexity analysis. If you like a mix of formal leadership and time doing deep work, this might be the role for you!
Management Analyst Supervisor (2 positions available)
