Location: Kersey Library
Computers: 10
Population: 1,454
Motto: Kersey...a great place to grow a family!

Kersey is a growing community located just 9 miles east of Greeley. The town of Kersey has really embraced their new public computer center; at the launch on June 23rd visitors enjoyed cookies and snacks that were baked by members of the Library and Museum Board!

The Kersey Library already had a dedicated patron base that took advantage of the public access computers, library storytimes, and the newly enhanced collection. When the High Plains Library District partnered with the Town of Kersey, the district replaced their computers and added several more. They’ve had over 1,400 open access uses since May. Kersey’s patrons have really been keeping them busy!

It will be interesting to see how local youth utilize the computers for their homework needs, and we’re excited to see how this busy public computer center grows.
