Happy Birthdays are a Piece of Cake at Douglas County Libraries

February 26, 2020


Planning a birthday party in these cold winter months can be challenging, especially when it comes to finding the right venue. Douglas County Libraries (DCL) is here for you!

Birthday parties at DCL are not only fun and convenient, with six locations to choose from, they’re also easy on parents. Our professional event planners manage all the details, so you can focus on making memories with your child.

Birthday parties at DCL are ideal for kids ages 2-12 and are offered in three fun themes: Folklore and Fantasy, Once Upon a Time, and Things That Roar. Delightful stories, crafts, and activities are built into every party!

Simply choose your theme and library location — Castle Pines, Castle Rock, Highlands Ranch, Lone Tree, Parker, or Roxborough — and our event planners will take care of the rest. Really!







All themed birthday party packages include:

  • Stress-free planning, on-site coordination, and party management
  • An invitation that you may email to guests and thank-you notes for use after the party
  • Party décor
  • Party setup and cleanup
  • Age-appropriate activities, including crafts and themed Storytimes
  • Goody bags for guests, including age-appropriate toys and snacks
  • Birthday lollipop bouquet
  • Gift book for the birthday girl or boy

“This party was such a huge success! I truly appreciate your planning and organization with this event. The volunteers were so great with the kiddos and handled everything with such grace and professionalism. I have already received a handful of overwhelming compliments regarding how child-centered and age-appropriate the activities were.” –Hayley Spain, who recently celebrated her son’s 4th birthday at DCL.

The epic adventures, roaring good times, and magical stories experienced every day through the library’s interactive Storytimes and extensive collection of kids’ books and DVDs can be a memorable part of your child’s birthday, too. And dress-up is encouraged!

Birthday parties are offered on Saturdays and Sundays from 2:30–4:30 PM and cost $195 for up to 12 children (including the birthday girl/boy).

Take the stress out of planning your child’s birthday party by letting Douglas County Libraries manage the details for you!
