Welcome to the website for Colorado’s youngest library district.
Southwest La Plata Library District is the result of citizens dedicated to saving their two rural libraries so that they can continue promoting lifelong learning in this rural community.
As part of our effort to ensure the fiscal stability of our library we are striving for increased community awareness and participation in your libraries and we invite you to explore our pages and visit our libraries.
Our Mission
The Southwest La Plata Library District Board of Trustee’s mission is to oversee the administration and fiscal resources of the Library District.
In partnership with Durango School District 9-R, we strive for community participation to support and enrich the Sunnyside and Fort Lewis Mesa communities with educational, social, and cultural opportunities.
We bring together resources, services, and expertise to inspire our residents of all ages to read, explore, ask, and discover.
With this goal in mind, our libraries provide books and other materials for learning and enjoyment, encourage reading, supplement learning, and provide access to technology.
