Arapahoe Library District Proctoring Guidelines

Attention Students:
We are happy to help you complete your test-taking requirements. Please verify that these conditions are acceptable to the institution giving you your test so that your test taking experience will go smoothly.

AskColorado

Ask Colorado is a free online information service provided by Colorado libraries. Real people in real time answer your questions, help you find information, or point you in the right direction to get what you need.

Borrowing Guidelines

We want your borrowing experience to be a great one! To make it easy, we have the information you need about borrowing items from the library, including how long you can keep items, how to return them, and more.

Can't Find It?

Can't find what you need in our collection or through Prospector? We'll do our best to get what you need by purchasing the item for the Arapahoe Library District or borrowing it from another library (Interlibrary Loan).

Computers in the Library

The Arapahoe Library District offers computers with internet access available to the public at no charge at all of our libraries! We also offer free wireless internet access you can use with your notebook/laptop computer or other wireless device.

Locations & Hours

Looking for the library closest to you? Here you will find all of the locations in the Arapahoe Library District.

Need to contact us by phone? 303-LIBRARY (303-542-7279) is the only number you will need to connect to any of our libraries.

Kelver (303-822-9392) and Davies (303-769-4310) patrons may still call the direct telephone numbers to avoid incurring long distance charges.

Meeting Rooms

Because Arapahoe Library District offers meeting space free of charge for nonprofit organizations, and at a very minimal cost to for-profits or local businesses, we often experience a high volume of meeting room requests. Even with a high volume of requests, it is important to the Library District that individuals who are reserving meeting rooms have a positive and seamless experience doing so. This is why we decided to re-evaluate the meeting room reservation process and look for opportunities to make it more efficient and customer-friendly.

For information on when patrons can reserve meeting rooms on a recurring basis, for meetings scheduled for January through April 2010, please see our Meeting Room Guidelines.
