The house wasn't for sale, but we wanted to sew it up for our future. We saw the growth at Eagle Ranch and neighboring communities and wanted to have some room for the youth.

We have lots of kids elbow-to-elbow around a computer. We want to build on that and give them gentle supervision.

I truly see this expansion as a way for the library to help build community.

We want to encourage people to participate in preserving Eagle County history. We want to provide a service where people would be willing to entrust us with their original photographs and documents.

To be forced to stake our economic future on accounting maneuvers and inflated growth estimates is a stunning reversal from the economic situation you inherited just seven short months ago,

We not only romanticize the future; we have also made it into a growth industry, a parlor game and a disaster movie all at the same time.
