La Veta Library Services
2022 Community Needs Assessment – In 2022 we conducted a survey of our community’s needs. We wanted to know who our community is, who they use the library, and what they would like now and in the future. We are grateful for funding support for this big project from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), without whom this would not have been possible. Here is what we learnedt: LVPL_Community_Needs_Survey_2022_Report

La Veta Library History
- June 5. 1974 the Library opened as guests of La Veta’s Jail House. The running joke was we had the best read prisoners – as the old jail cell was the book storage area.
- First book purchased by the Library was “The La Veta Posse” by Eugene Vories in September 1974.
- September 1975 the library opened its doors at its current address 310 S. Main St.
- The Library was begun through the vision, work and donations of the community it serves. It has evolved over the years with major renovation in 1978, 1986, and 2006. It continues to exist because of the steadfast support of our local community.
