DEI Mission Statement

Through our DEI work, Anythink recognizes that bringing awareness and education about our diverse histories and backgrounds can foster understanding, promote inclusion and strengthen our communities. 

To fulfill our mission and ensure that all Adams County residents and visitors are welcomed and supported by Anythink, we provide comfortable spaces, accessible resources, and opportunities for personal growth. We empower our staff and customers to create meaningful connections through shared experiences, diverse and culturally relevant programming, and inclusive communities. 

Anythink is committed to: 

  • Representing the diversity of Adams County, internally and externally by centering and elevating the voices and experiences of the historically underserved and underrepresented. 
  • Operationalizing equitable policies and practices that advance our mission. 
  • Creating a feeling of inclusion and belonging for all staff and customers.

Anythink is your public library. 

 Whether you’re curious about a topic or you’re mastering a new skill, discover something new at your local Anythink. 

Anythink serves the residents of Adams County, Colo., with seven branches in Bennett, Brighton, Commerce City, Thornton and the Perl Mack neighborhood of Denver. The library also offers outreach services through Anythink in Motion, the district’s bookmobile which visits neighborhoods and communities throughout the county. With a focus on innovation, Anythink’s award-winning approach to library service is recognized by industry leaders and organizations across the globe. 

Anythink’s vision is to be the catalyst for innovation in Adams County – a place where people are happy, healthy, safe and smart. We support lifelong learning for children, families, artists and entrepreneurs through hands-on programming, popular resources, and the one-on-one assistance of our dedicated staff. 

Our community deserves only the best libraries, places where our children and families will find delightful opportunities to learn about anything under the sun in the most beautiful, comfortable spaces. Our libraries are community assets that belong to you.
