On February 2, 2011 the Mesa County Public Library District went live in the Prospector system. This means that their library holdings are available for lending and Mesa County Library patrons may now borrow from other libraries in Prospector.

With the addition of the Mesa County Public Library District, Prospector has now passed 10 million unique titles with 30 million copies. The system includes printed books, ebooks, journals, movies, music and other many other items.

Mesa County Libraries, located in Western Colorado, serve downtown Grand Junction with the Central Library and seven branch libraries serve communities throughout the county. In addition to the Central Library the branches include – Clifton, Collbran, DeBeque, Fruita, Gateway, Orchard Mesa and Palisade. Patrons from all of these branches may borrow through the Prospector system.

More information about the Mesa Country Libraries may be found on their Website at http://www.mcpld.org/.
