We are the intersection of knowledge and discovery

At the Auraria Library, students and opportunities come together. Curious thinkers and knowledge seekers gather. It is where learners and leaders from three vibrant institutions intersect to research the past, study the present, connect with the world, discover and create the next big idea, and find the resources and tools to succeed in education, and prepare for career and the jobs of the future.

We are excited to invite you to meet us at this intersection and help fuel exciting new pathways for all.

The Society for Auraria Library is a group of dedicated individuals posed at the intersection of creating endless ways to interact with each other and the world. We are opening up extraordinary possibilities to all those we serve, including first-generation college students, learners from marginalized communities, and students who are taking a non-traditional path to starting, or re-starting, their degrees.

When you give to our library, you are helping to power spaces and experiences that welcome all curious, creative, knowledge-seeking, future-shaping humans to collaborate and share ideas, spaces, experiences and possibilities.

These diverse and exceptionally talented students will lead our city into the future, and supporting their learning and connectedness through the Auraria Library will ensure our future leaders and workforce are prepared for the boundless opportunities ahead—for themselves, and for our city.
