It is very clean. There's plenty of parking. It is especially great for the kids. When we visited they were having outdoor time on the lawn. The library had lots of outdoor toys for the kids to play with along with much for them to do inside too. They have a cockpit of a plane inside this library! There is even dress up items the children can try on while pretending to fly the plane. My son absolutely loves this. Besides the plane there are plenty of toys for the kids to play with. They've got story time too of course. If you have a little they will absolutely love their visit here.

I was expecting this place to blow, but instead it blew me away…read more Back in the day, when I "had" to read, I couldn't work on my computer hacking skills by checking out a book explaining punch cards along with a laptop from the county library. I couldn't work on my bow staff skills by checking out one of those bamboo sticks they use for reading newspapers. I couldn't work on my brooding musician skills by checking out an out-of-tune ukulele in tandem with a book of uke chords. Girls like guys who have skills, and if I had an Anythink within Romper Stomping distance of our apartment complex, I think dating life may have turned out a little different. This is an awesome free resource. If you're near, get in here! And BONUS: I just found out they have a 3-D Printer in house, in one of the studios up front! They had a program where you could make your own Pokemon cards and custom stencils!

The Denver Central Library is one of my favorites, both for the spectacular building and for the…read morehelpful staff and many resources found inside. I have always found the staff knowledgeable, helpful, and very willing to seek out answers, no matter what my issue might be. There are enormous resources available here, far beyond the physical books and media on the shelves. These include community rooms and study rooms, a constant series of seminars and events, the ideaLAB maker space, the children's library, passes for many local cultural institutions, and the Community Technology Center (computer lab, classes, and workshops). There's a Healthy Snack program for children, extensive help to navigate social services for those in need, a number of book clubs, a book store, and a large collection of eBooks and audio books. There's a streaming resource for movies, music, and TV shows, a huge digital magazine collection, and digital access to The Denver Post and The New York Times. Research resources include BizBoost (research services to formulate data for a business plan), Digital Navigators (help with acquiring electronics and using technology), Nonprofit assistance, the Patent & Trademark Resource Center, and student consulting. There is a huge selection of research databases available online. The Western History collection is massive and comprehensive. There are extensive genealogy resources and a large collection of historic maps and geographic resources. The library also has an outstanding art collection. Some of the most important pieces are on loan to the Denver Art Museum, but the seventh floor hallways and the Vida Ellison Gallery on the seventh floor are used to display pieces from the collection between periodic, formal art exhibits. The fifth floor of the building is another highlight. There's a large lobby which is used for mostly historical exhibits. The Western History collection is on this floor. The Gates Reading Room sits within Symbol of the West, a sculpture of massive wooden beams designed by Michael Graves. The area usually features exhibits of photographs and artifacts from the Western History collection and is a spectacular study space. The library started in a wing of the original Denver High School building at 19th and Stout Streets. It notably included the first children's library in the U.S. The facility moved to the iconic Carnegie building (now the McNichols Civic Center Building) in Civic Center Park in 1910 and remained there until the new Burnham Hoyt building at 14th and Broadway was completed in 1956. Noted architect Michael Graves designed the current building which opened in 1995. It incorporates the 1956 structure quite seamlessly. I greatly admire the new building. I think it is one of Graves' best projects. Internally, it is very functional while the exterior is stunning.

Beautifully situated among open spaces, with a Frisbee golf area just across the parking lot, it also has walking/bike paths, a bike repair area (we LOVED that!) drive thru book return, and friendly, helpful staff. While, not the largest of libraries...for this "small town", what a library it has! You can put on hold any item and if this particular location does not have the item, they will get it for you. I read a lot, and use the online system for asking for books, and have been very happy with how that all works. I also appreciate how they will try to get inter library loans for me as well, and consider requests for purchase.

I love that this cafe does seasonal drinks too to mix it up. One of my favorite features is on the second floor they have a balcony with rocking chairs that has a view of the mountains in the distance. There is a great kids section with tons of books and tons for them to play. We came once on Thursday morning for story time too. For those working remote they have a phone booth for making private calls on the second floor near elevators. They've even got self checkout and electric car chargers!
