New schedule begins in November. Denver Public Library leaders said new schedule was a response to community demand.

Denver’s Central Library will fully reopen to the public on November 3rd for the first time since it closed for renovations during the pandemic. The over four-year renovations, which cost over $60 million, put Denver’s votes to work. In November 2017, Denver voters overwhelmingly approved measure 2E, which provided $69.3 million to renovate the Denver Central Library and 10 branch libraries as part of the Elevate Denver Bond program.

Denver’s Central Library will be open seven days a week starting in early November, with the branch open on Fridays as of Nov. 7, officials announced Thursday.

The new schedule is in response to community members asking for more hours, Denver Public Library leaders said in a news release.

“DPL continues to evaluate library hours across the system to ensure we’re meeting the evolving needs of our community,” agency officials said.

The curbside window will also be open one hour before the library building.

Denver Central Library hours starting Nov 7:

  • Monday-Thursday: 10 a.m.-6 p.m.
  • Friday: 10 a.m.-5 p.m.
  • Saturday-Sunday: 11 a.m.-5 p.m.

Updated 12:47 p.m. Oct. 24, 2025: Because of a reporter’s error, a previous version of this story listed the incorrect library opening hours for Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The story has been updated.
