📖 About Haxtun Public Library
The Haxtun Public Library is the public library of Haxtun, a town of roughly 900 people in Phillips County on the high plains of northeastern Colorado, near the Nebraska line. The town itself grew out of two homesteads sold to the Lincoln Land Company in 1887 and was founded in 1909, and the library remains a small, community-run service point at 141 South Colorado Avenue. It belongs to AspenCat, the shared catalog run through the Colorado Library Consortium, so a Haxtun card reaches a statewide pool of books far larger than the local shelves and borrows eBooks and audiobooks through hoopla. The library keeps morning hours on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday and also connects patrons to Colorado's free statewide databases.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
What is AspenCat, and why does it matter at a small library like Haxtun?
AspenCat is a shared catalog run through the Colorado Library Consortium that many small and rural Colorado libraries use together. For a town the size of Haxtun it means a cardholder can request from a statewide pool of titles instead of being limited to the local shelves, with items delivered between member libraries.
When is the Haxtun Public Library open?
The library keeps morning hours four days a week — Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday, 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. It is closed Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday, so plan visits for the morning on an open day.
Can I borrow eBooks and audiobooks with a Haxtun card?
Yes. The library offers hoopla, which lets you borrow eBooks, audiobooks, movies, music and comics on your phone or tablet for free with your Haxtun library card, with no holds or waitlists.
