DENVER — The Denver Public Library is getting ready to open a new location later this year in the city's Westwood neighborhood. It’ll be named after Lena Archuleta, whose legacy includes trailblazing in education, work training and seniors' rights.
Although Archuleta came from humble beginnings growing up in New Mexico, when she moved to Denver, she used education as a stepping stone to help others. To continue serving Latinos of all ages, she helped create many organizations aimed at instilling a love for education and career advancement, including the Latin American Research and Service Agency and the Mi Casa Resource Center.
What started in the 1970s in a small home has grown over the years, expanding into"a 20,000 square foot building that really is at the heart of the community,” Ortega said.
