2008 Annual Report
when we expose someone to a wrIter lIke updIke, we help make denver a much more InterestIng place.
For the Denver Public library, 2008 was a year oF accomPlishments, anD also challenges.
The Democratic National Convention was a
highlight of the year, with meetings and events
happening at Library locations. Our display of
historic artifacts from Denver’s 1908 convention
drew hundreds of first-time visitors to Central.
2008 also brought the beginning of the current
economic downturn. Customers came to us
in unprecedented numbers, seeking assistance
in the job market, bringing their children to
storytimes and programs, and logging on to
computers. Many customers rediscovered
the Library while others stepped foot in our
doors for the first time ever to check out books,
CDs, and DVDs, get resume advice, or attend
classes, all without spending a dime.

In tough economic times, our customers need
us more than ever. To ensure our relevance and
sustainability, staff used the Balanced Scorecard
model to create a well-defined, strategic plan
that will successfully lead us into the future.
We continue to benefit from a strong alliance with
the Denver Public Library Friends Foundation
and are profoundly grateful for their commitment.
I also thank each and every one of you for your
continued generosity and support. Together, we
make an extraordinary difference to our community.
Sincerely,
City LibrAriAn

bookLovers’ bALL
When the librarian’s away, the books will
play! 2008 Booklovers’ Ball guests came
face to face with their favorite fictional
characters including Scarlett O’Hara,
Tom Sawyer, Dorothy Gale and Othello.
The eco-friendly event—without speeches,
auctions or envelopes—was a fantastic
evening of cocktails, dinner and dancing
at the Central Library.
Proceeds from the Ball help purchase
books and materials for students of all
ages. When you support our fundraising
events, you support the Library.
