Due to the increasing numbers of positive COVID-19 cases in Kiowa County, and the Southeast region of Colorado, the Kiowa County Board of Commissioners made the difficult decision to close county buildings for public access effective Monday, November 23, 2020. The Kiowa County Public Library District (KCPLD) will be following this closure effective until January 1, 2021. KCPLD staff will remain working on-site. 

While the doors are closed, you can still access many of our services. 

Library Curbside and Home Delivery Services available! View our entire library collection on our online catalog anytime, anywhere. Plus thousands of Inter-Library Loan options – Yes, this service WILL continue during this closure. Visit our website to access the online catalog and view our catalog training, or you can call the Library for assistance! 

There will be NO late fees or fines charged for materials that are checked out during this time.

Several children’s Fun Totes available to borrow - Including jigsaw puzzles for all the family to enjoy!

Yes, our doors are unfortunately closed again this year, but we are still working diligently to serve the heart of the Library, which is YOU, the Kiowa County Community!
