The City is aware that the picnic tables at Library Park have been removed. After an inspection, our Parks crew determined that the tables had become a safety hazard and needed to be taken out to protect visitors.

We understand these tables were a valued feature of the park, and we appreciate the community’s patience while we address this issue. New, safer seating options have already been ordered, and we expect them to be installed soon.

In the meantime, we encourage everyone to continue enjoying the park, and we will provide updates as soon as the new benches are in place.

☀️ Don't Let the "Summer Slide" Catch You! ☀️

Attention parents and community members! As the school year wraps up, it’s time to talk about the "Summer Slide." Did you know that children who don’t read over the summer can lose up to two months of reading performance? 📉

Those losses add up fast—by middle school, a student could be 2.5 years behind their peers.

The Rocky Ford Library is here to help! Our annual Summer Reading Program is designed to keep our kids’ minds sharp while having a total blast. 📚✨

📅 Program Details
Registration: May 1st – June 10th
Register online via RecDesk or in-person at the Rocky Ford Library

When: Every Wednesday in June (June 3rd, 10th, 17th, & 24th)

Time: 10:30 AM – 12:30 PM

Prizes: We have exciting weekly incentives to keep the motivation high! 🎁

Why Join?
Our goal is simple: we want every child to head back to school this fall feeling confident, prepared, and inspired.

Questions? Stop by and see us or give us a call at 719-254-6641.

Let’s make this a summer of literacy, growth, and fun! See you at the library! 📖👋
