Let the Expansion Begin!

Loveland Library expansion begins

Library Expansion has officially started

On July 1, 2010 The Friends of the Loveland Library hosted the ceremonial groundbreaking for the upcoming expansion and renovation of the Loveland Public Library.  Following the hard work by The Friends Capital Campaign over the past 2 1/2 years which thus far has raised $1.4 million, then the construction bids came in 37% lower than projected, all of which gave our City Council the confidence to approve the construction contract with Dohn Construction and our project got the go-ahead!

Welcome Friends

The Friends of the Library Foundation raises money to augment funding allocated to the library by the City of Loveland.   Friends’ contributions to the library make possible expanded programming, equipment, technology, informational and educational materials, archives, and continuing education of library staff.

Capital Campaign

For Expansion & Renovation of Loveland Public Library

The Friends of the Loveland Public Library Foundation, Inc. is proud to be conducting a Capital Campaign to raise $2 million for the expansion and renovation of the Loveland Library. Capital Expansion Funds already earmarked for the project to expand the library and enrich the community amount to $3.9 million.  The City of Loveland will be providing the additional funding for this project, which is expected to cost around $10.4 million.

The Loveland Public Library was built in 1987 for 36,100 residents.  Now, the City’s population is over 66,000 with the Library being used more than ever.

The amount raised by The Friends as of March 2010 is $1,375,444 of our $2 million goal.   With your help, our Library can continue to grow as an exciting center for information, inspiration, education and exploration at a level that is relevant to today’s reader, student and family.   Please add your support to this important project by making your donation today.
