As a public library, Anythink provides access to knowledge in a free, safe and trusted space available to all. As an experience library, Anythink is even more uniquely qualified to build a nature library – using spaces, experts, TryIts and other resources to help people find their place in nature.
Inspired by the Environmental Kinship Guide, the library’s design is grounded in the understanding that “everything in the natural world is interrelated and that humans are a part of this as cohabiters.” (Learn more about the Environmental Kinship Guide at environmentalkinship.org.) Anythink also convened the Anythink Nature Library Advisory Council, which included Indigenous and Native American leaders from the Denver metro area, who provided expertise on the building’s design.
