Jefferson County Public Library (JCPL) serves Jefferson County, Colorado, United States, and is the third largest public library in the state. Its service area spans from the foothills of Colorado's Rocky Mountains to the edge of the metro Denver area. It serves a diverse set of Colorado communities, from Lakewood, (pop. 144,000) to Morrison (pop. 420), to unincorporated areas of the county (pop. 190,000). The demographics of the populations served are equally diverse, ranging from the very wealthy to the poor and underserved.

The library's mission is to meet the changing needs of their communities by providing information and environments that promote personal growth and community transformation. A library card gives access to the system's 10 libraries, Bookmobile, traveling children's library, and mobile computer training lab. The library offers a collection of more than 1.3 million books, periodicals, CDs and DVDs, in addition to computer and Internet resources.

Over the past decade, services across the system have continued to grow, with most nearly doubling in use. Online use alone has increased nearly 20-fold. In recent years the library has introduced self-checkout and holds pickup. Downloadable music, audiobooks and eBooks are available 24/7.
