The largest of the Denver Public Library’s 27 branches, in the heart of downtown, has been closed or heavily restricted to the public since the pandemic shut its doors in March 2020.

On Sunday, the nearly 70-year-old building — which underwent a major expansion in the mid-1990s — will fully reopen, welcoming bookworms, knowledge-seekers and those simply looking for a reprieve from the hustle and bustle of city life. “I just can’t wait to see the people back in the building,” said Rachel Fewell, the Central Library’s director, who led local media on a tour of the revamped building Tuesday. The library was a flurry of activity as workers and staff solidified the finishing touches before this weekend’s grand reopening. Window washers cleaned newly installed glass.
