Douglas County Libraries is adding magic to the holidays with Forest of Stories, a sparkling display of more than 175 book-themed, decorated trees across all seven library locations in Castle Pines, Castle Rock, Highlands Ranch, Lone Tree, Louviers, Parker and Roxborough. The seasonal exhibit, presented by Douglas County Libraries Foundation, is free and open during library operating hours through January 4, 2025, no ticket or registration required.
“This is my favorite event of the year and it’s accessible to all throughout the holidays, rather than just happening on one day orevening,” said Elaine McCain, Chair of Douglas County Libraries Foundation, the presenting sponsor of the exhibit.
“More trees than ever are on display this year. Whatever your favorite theme is, you are sure to find it in our forest,” said McCain.

This year, the library is excited to also partner with Mix 100 for special in-library events with live readings from radio personalities among Forest of Stories, as well as prizes and giveaways. Josh from Mix 100 will be at the Highlands Ranch library (9292 S. Ridgeline Blvd.) with giveaways and a reading from “Clifford’s Christmas” at the next event on Saturday, December 7, from 11 a.m.-Noon.
