ROOM: Large Meeting Room Combo
DESCRIPTION:March's Topic: History of the LibraryDiscover the story o
 f the Fort Collins library, from its 19th-century beginnings in small comm
 unity reading rooms to the Carnegie Library and today’s Poudre River Pub
 lic Library District. This talk will explore how books, buildings, and civ
 ic ambition shaped one of Fort Collins’ most enduring public institution
 s. We will also be marking an important milestone at this event. It was 5
 0 years ago that the Fort Collins Library moved out of the Carnegie Buildi
 ng and into what we know today as the Old Town Library. What an auspicious
  opportunity for the Historical Society to be reflecting on the history of
  this important local institution. In 2026, the United States turns 250 a
 nd Colorado celebrates 150 years of statehood. To mark these historic mile
 stones, the Fort Collins Historical Society presents Living in History, a
  yearlong series exploring how our city’s past continues to shape its pr
 esent and future.Each talk will spotlight a different chapter in Fort Coll
 ins’ story—from civil rights and citizen activism to urban growth and 
 transportation. We’ll trace how everyday residents, through bold movemen
 ts and quiet contributions alike, have helped build the community we call 
 home. As we reflect on where we’ve been and imagine what’s ahead, we i
 nvite you to join us in Living in History.These presentations are free an
 d open to the public. Bring a friend!For more information about the Fort C
