Rawlings Library looks to Pueblo County for financial help
PUEBLO, Colo. (KRDO) -- The Rawlings Library is looking for financial help to complete renovation projects.
The library is working to build a new coffee shop, new meeting rooms, and an expansion to the parking lot next year. The Pueblo City-County Library District is roughly $187,000 short of its fundraising goal.
"Believe it or not the Rawlings library is almost twenty years old, and I know that's shocking and the building has really held up well and served our community well," said Nick Potter, with the Pueblo City-County Library District. "However, the Rawlings library pre-pandemic has seen nine hundred to 1,000 people per day coming through its doors. So we want to be able to provide Pueblo with the best possible public library service; It's very important."
