The Hope Columbine Memorial Library is a library in Littleton, Colorado, at Columbine High School. It was built after the original library was demolished in January 2000 following the events of the Columbine High School massacre. It opened on June 9, 2001. The original library was also the area shooters, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold spent most of the massacre and committed suicide in.
History
Construction and remodelling
The Hope Columbine Memorial Library was built after the events of the Columbine High School shootings that killed 16 people and injured 23 others.[1][2][3] It replaced the previous library that the shooters were in for the majority of the shooting, it was also the place they committed suicide in.[4][5]
During the construction of the new library, the district had the floor of the previous library removed, which was replaced by an atrium with a view of rocky mountains.[6][7] In 2017, Hope Columbine Memorial Library got its first remodel since 2002, adding newly placed power outlets.[8]
Previous library
The library that came before the current one was the room perpetrators Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold spent most of their time in during the shooting.[9] The library is also the area where the two killed most of the victims.[10]
Prior to the shooting, the duo planted duffel bags with homemade explosives in them around the cafeteria, the floor below the library.[11] The plan was for the propane bombs to detonate at peak hours in the cafeteria, with their goal being to kill hundreds of people.[12]
Role
The library functions as a space for remembrance and healing, also for remembering the lives lost on the day of the event.[13][14][15]
