I went here today, Wednesday, April 24, 2019. I parked across the street in the public parking lot…read moreat North Stewart Street and East 2nd Street, and got to use a flashing crosswalk indicator for the first time ever! It worked, as everyone stopped right away for me. There was also available (and free) street parking closer, next to the park, on East King Street. This building is amazing. You first climb the stairs on North Stewart Street, and enter a grand entry hall, with a few carrels and a book return at one end and a view of the Capitol grounds at the rear. The library itself is to the right, and is open from 8 AM to 5 PM, Monday through Friday. There is a librarian at the front who is very helpful. They take turns and there is a new librarian every hour. You can check out books with your Carson City Library card. If you want to do work here on your laptop, this is the place to be So much better than the Carson City Library. It is much, much larger, on two stories, with plenty of carrels and tables to work on, many by an electrical receptacle. There is also free, secure wifi. There are so few people here. I had the entire second floor (upper level) to myself. And the clientele is better. I only saw one person who may have been homeless, vs. many in the Carson City Library. I have nothing against homeless people, but I have seen them abuse services in other libraries (like taking to separate indoor seats for the day and not occupying either one, instead choosing to lie down on the picnic table outside). There are also public computers, which are available for an hour at a time I think. They also open at 8 AM, vs. 10 AM at the Carson City Library, which is more conducive to work. There are clean restrooms on the second floor. I saw a rock collection there as well, with Nevada Tartan Stones, on the west wall. There was a display of the original hand-written Nevada State Constitution as well. At the south end of the second floor, there was a spectacular view of the grand entry hall as well as a book monument that was shaped like an igloo. As I left, I saw a virtual reality station near the librarian's desk .You put on this headset and you experience something amazing. The librarian said it was open to the public. I went to the lower level (basement) to look around. It is just a collection of archives, which looks like a closed office hallway at first. The patron coming up said she was scared to use it at first, as the basement halls go on forever and look all the same. I agreed with her, and decided not to look around. Maybe next time.

Always something fun to find. Also, if they don't have what you are looking for in house, but they do at another library it's super simple to place a hold and the book that will then be delivered to this library to be picked up by you (you have 10 days). I use this feature online constantly and it's the absolute best. I hope I get to read all the books someday. I had to print some tickets last month and staff helped me understand how to use the computer, pay the cheap amount, and actually get the printouts. Great kid area. Personally I never read on the kindle (but online they do have a version called Libby you can access and rent from as well!) and I don't to audiobooks (they also have some) I just love a good old fashioned hand held paperback or hardback book and I hope you also Enjoy your local libraries!

wanted to update my review. One disappointment is that the free EV charging that used to be…read moreavailable here has petered out and has been broken for months now. There's a sign on it that says out of order. But on the upside I just learned about this 3d printer I couldn't be more thrilled. Yes the library now has a 3-D print lab. They only allow 1/mo and it must be something that was successfully printed from thingverse or similar site. in other words you probably can't just design your own without uploading it to one of those sites first and getting others to successfully printed to show that it's not a disaster and then it is a successful design not that they only offer PLA (Polylactic Acid). It is the standard for library printers because it's easy to use and doesn't give off toxic fumes, it can warp if left in the direct summer sun or high heat though so if you're printing something for use outdoors you may need to spray on a protectant of some sort.
