History

The Delta library (1911) building is associated with the nationwide Carnegie public library movement. Through the Carnegie Foundation contributing $6500 towards construction, and efforts of the local Woman's club who raised $3400, the Delta Library was dedicated in 1912.[4] Architect G.R. Felmlee designed the original building out of yellow brick with sandstone trim. An addition by Dona, Larson, Roubal & Assoc. was designed for the building in 1984.

The current Cedaredge Library building opened in 1997, the Hotchkiss Library in 2002, the Delta Library received a large addition in 2005, the Crawford Library was constructed in 2008, and the Paonia Library in 2009.
