History
Established in 2002.
In late 1985, The Weld Library District, a special taxing district, is established under the authority of Colorado Library Law C.R.S. 24-90-101 to improve library service to residents through the sharing of books, staff, and tax revenue. The District finalizes details, selects board members, and creates agreements with Member libraries so that operations can begin in early 1986.
2008
As part of a re-branding project, the Library Board of Trustees approved the recommendation to rename the Library District High Plains Library District.
2019
HPLD pays off Certificates of Participation, meaning HPLD was debt-free. When the mill levy was approved in 1999, HPLD promised to reduce the mill levy after all debts were paid, and in December 2019 the Board of Trustees fulfilled that promise.
Today
High Plains Library District is comprised of eight branch libraries, bookmobile services, and eight autonomous member libraries governed by their own separate boards of trustees.
