Clearview Reads

Each year, Clearview Reads brings acclaimed authors and engaging literary events to our community through conversations, book signings, and shared experiences centered around storytelling. In partnership with the Kathy Murphy Speaker Series Fund, this annual event series helps connect readers of all ages through meaningful discussions and a love of literature.

Staff Appreciation

We believe the dedicated staff of the Clearview Library District are at the heart of our libraries. Through staff appreciation efforts, wish list support, and celebrations during National Library Week, we help recognize and support the people who make our library system welcoming, innovative, and community-focused every day.

Community Programs & Support

The Clearview Library District Friends & Foundation proudly supports programs and initiatives that expand opportunities for library patrons across Windsor, Severance, and West Greeley. From the Summer Adventure Program to special projects, educational experiences, and community events, we help provide resources that go beyond the library district’s operating budget and strengthen services for our growing community.
