The new branch library was recently named after Sam Gary, who has been dubbed by the Front Porch as “the key community member in Denver who brought the new-urbanism planning concept to the redevelopment of the old Stapleton airport.”  He is an upstanding citizen and philanthropist who dedicates much of his life to help economically challenged inner-city children through his foundation, the Piton Foundation, as well as contributing to early childhood education and healthcare programs. 

In an effort to ensure the quality programming, materials and faculty for the upcoming library; The Denver Public Library is offering the community an opportunity to purchase beautifully engraved sandstone pavers as a special way to memorialize your family or business outside of the new Sam Gary Branch Library in Stapleton.  For more information on purchasing a paver or to learn about interior naming opportunities, please contact Brenda Ritenour at 720-865-2046 or britenour@denverlibrary.org.
