Public libraries are a valuable cornerstone for communities. They provide essential and accessible resources, amenities and services to local residents, enhancing the quality of life for anyone with a library card.
When Sabrina Unrein first joined the Vail Public Library as a library associate in January, she saw that the library was missing opportunities to extend these amenities to the town’s teen and tween residents, or those between the ages of 13 and 18.
“We want to keep the library users that we have when they’re coming in as a kid, we’d love for them to keep coming throughout their teen years and to stay users at the library. We’re just seeing a drop-off after elementary school and middle school,” Unrein said. “We haven’t been supporting our teens in the way that I think we should be. I think it’s just because it’s really difficult, at the library, to wear all those different hats. ”

Books clubs help build a sense of community while expanding a participant’s worldview. Since the pandemic, book clubs have been meeting on Zoom, allowing second-home owners and other friends and family who don’t live in Eagle County year-round to join from out of state. For example, Vail Public Library’s Books ‘n’ Bites club has about 23 members about 10 regulars from as far as Kentucky, California and North Dakota.
“It gives people a sense of community,” said Lori Barnes of the Vail Public Library.

In a space on the second floor, near the elevators and escalator, a person sits at a table with a typewriter and an open chair across from her. Two signs read “Listener Poet” and “Tell Us Your Story.” Anyone is welcome to sit and tell their story, Wellons continues. “A caregiver, staff member, or patient: on site, it can be a security guard. It can be anyone in the space who wants to sit down and be with the listener poets.”
