We read lots of books
Kimberly C.

4/5 because as a non-Colorado resident I am not allowed to receive a library card AND I have to have the physical card from my DIL when checking out books. Here's the thing, my two toddler granddaughters live in Castlerock and I live in CA. I come and visit them for a week at a time every other month. They love books and enjoy reading lots and lots of books. It makes sense that we come to the library and enjoy the facility and the programming planned for toddlers, but we should be able to leave with books too. Nope. Not this time. We enjoyed Story Time at 11am with Patty and Karissa which was well organized and fun. Thank you ladies for the music, fingerplays, and craft as well as the books. After Story Time we went out into the children's area and the girls played a bit with the toys and then they selected books for me to read to them. The girls wanted to check out books but we could not. At my local library that I take my other two grandchildren to that live in town, if I don't have their library card the kind people working the desk look up the bar code number and check out our books no problem. Now I know.

New building is bright and sunny! Great views! Friendly staff. Parking is still a bit of mess due to construction.

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.

One of the best, if not the best public library between New York and Los Angeles. Plenty to choose…read morefrom. The greatest Western History archives and collections. A remodeled and expansive children's section. Years ago, it had the distinction of hosting the G8. The fossils in the floor throughout are a nice touch, and the staff is friendly. It almost loses a star, perhaps it should lose two for limited hours and choosing to close on a non-national holiday?

I've got to give a huge shoutout to Douglas Library. I just went to their Remember the Classics…read moreplay, and they did Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. Honestly, it was a night to remember. The Atmosphere: The whole vibe was so intimate and just really well done. It didn't feel like a big, empty theater, it felt personal, like you were right there in the story. The Acting: All the people playing the characters really brought the story to life. I have to mention the two who played Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy they seriously had me on the edge of my seat! The Cost & Parking: It was such a great experience and only cost $20. Plus, parking is right there at the library and it's free, so you don't have to worry about that. The Giveaway: They even had a giveaway for a copy of the Pride and Prejudice book. Everyone who went got a chance in the drawing, which was such a thoughtful touch. Overall: Everything was so well put together. I'm already looking forward to the next one they do. If you like the classics, you definitely need to check this out.

Support your local library! And if you haven't been to the Parker Library yet, it's a good place to…read moreknow and go. Very kid friendly including a large children's book section and play area. In the summer, the fountains out front provide great play time for your littles. My only negative: the staff could be a little more friendly.

Koelbel Library is a most magnificent midtown venture…read more The entrance stairs are easy to climb there are guard rails, be careful during the heat of the summer, being iron they might be hot. Walk-ability around the parking lot grounds is lovely, fresh cut grass, trees, seating and some shaded parking. The Parking lot is Huge, plenty of room for all meetings and clients! The meeting is immediately gracious at the front desk. To the right side of entrance there is a cafe with Croissant, chia, coffees to your taste and other delights with sitting and "Wifi" Sitting is all around in comfy chairs, plenty of books to read AND, Take a stroll down the beautify stair or elevator. There are desks a plenty, some covered, some large some small. AND a larger meeting room upstairs. Meeting private rooms from 1/2 hour to 3 hours, must schedule in advance!! Personally, I have spent many of hours in this library with my "Service Dog" by my side. Bathrooms up and down stairs, PLUS SEPARATE AREA FOR THE KIDDOS!! I have never had a run in with children as with libraries, this is a well thought out multiplistic public library!!

Lovely library! I really enjoyed the space here. Full of plants and light, and of course, books!…read moreTheir children's section kept my granddaughter occupied for 2 HOURS! I also enjoy the Cafe and used books sale. The prices are very reasonable at the Cafe and for the used books. I am always finding a treasure.
