You might've notice that City of Greeley Museums, including Centennial Village, vanished from our Experience Pass service ( www.mylibrary.us/epass/). This is good news! They're no longer listed because City of Greeley Museums are FREE in 2026!
So give 'em a visit!

Alright, you've waited long enough for the unveiling of the top album of 2025 at HPLD!

I'm SO cute that I'm in charge of telling you that your HPLD2Go app is probably going to request an update today, and when it does, you'll have to re-enter your library barcode number. I know, annoying. But don't think about that, just look at my FACE!

Guessing game time?
Guess which album got the most checkouts at HPLD in 2025?
We'll get some hints later in the week, but if you want to take a "Shot in the Dark" as Ozzy might put it in his finest song (don't come at me, it's just fact), do it!

As promised, we donated $2 dollars to Noco Humane for every Spokescat we got in the first week, and, what the hey, we let in a few stragglers, too. Which ended up being 188 Spokescats, and for the mathematically disinterested, $376 dollars!

What a great book! A fantastic story about change and how it can infiltrate our lives. About how the fear of becoming someone different can make us not truly see ourselves.
