LINC Library Innovation Center is a 62,000 square foot building that represents the next iteration of the High Plains Library District.

Built at the old Greeley Tribune site in downtown Greeley, the newly constructed, state-of-the art building features a fully equipped makerspace with 3D printers, laser engravers, die-cut machines, and a UV Printer, as well as industrial space with woodworking equipment such as a CNC Router, a table saw, a planer, a lathe, and much more.

Patrons can also reserve and use the innovation classrooms, art studio, recording studio, and the podcast studio.

Plentiful opportunities for children and teens exist at LINC. The mezzanine level showcases a dynamic, hands-on learning children’s exhibit that physically connects to a two-story, large-scale interactive installation by nationally renowned artist Wes Bruce.

The Children’s library features a hobbit door welcoming families into the Storytime room.

Older kids and teens can take advantage of the gaming room next door to the Children’s Library.   

For a quieter experience, patrons can enjoy the atrium with an indoor/door fireplace or the quiet reading room. In addition, the High Plain Library District’s Local History and Genealogy Collection, which was previously at Centennial Park Library, will be housed at LINC.

There is no shortage of community spaces in the building. There are 5 study rooms, 4 meeting rooms, 2 collaboration spaces, 2 computer classrooms, and 2 general classrooms. The event space holds 193 people and contains 2 projectors & large screens.

There will be 60 computers available throughout the building and a materials collection with more than 100,000 items.

A community catalyst for workforce development, STEM education, and future innovation, LINC is a place where creativity and possibility comes to life.
