Arvada’s Olde Town library — the centerpiece of many a toddler’s weekend routine — will close Jan. 7, 2026, for more than a year of renovations.

The $15 million project includes extensive changes to the nearly 20-year-old facility. Among the main goals: Establishing the building as “the community’s primary third place,” along with “modern security stems and design to enhance overall safety.”

The redesigned library will include an expanded meeting room; a space for community groups and social services to meet with individuals; and a teen area.

The renovations also include a more distinct zone for younger kids, as well as a “destination for young kids and their families.” Currently, a children’s area takes up much of the first floor, but it isn’t divided from the rest of the library.
