Rangeview Library District

In 2009, the Rangeview Library District underwent a major overhaul. The traditional structure of the library no longer worked for its busy, growing Adams County, Colorado, community. After years of staff watching patrons struggle to use the library, the Dewey Decimal System was eliminated – a decision supported by research from the nearby Denver Public Library. The library took a risk and re-engineered library services. Now organized by words (like cooking, home, and travel) instead of numbers, the library is witnessing amazing results from the new “WordThink” system, which is user-friendly and well-loved by the community.
