    A really nice library in this small town, lots of parking lots here. Cross the street is a Starbucks coffee and river on the back.

    Great place to explore some books and you can see the Yampa River from the parking lot make sure to…read morecheckout "Sulfur Springs" nearby. The Library site used to be the Cabin Hotel built in 1910 and the nearby Depot is where the rio grande railroad stopped back in the day. Lots of history here here.

    I have run by this library from the outside on previous trips and admired it from afar, but today I…read moreactually got a chance to enter. The library was so inviting and I could hear the sound of happy children on a Tuesday morning event while browsing the books on sale. I did not have cash or credit card so did not leave with any books, but know I can come back before 7 pm on a weekday! The bathrooms were super clean and the whole place looked modern. It was built in 2008 but looks much newer and well-kept. The librarian suggested I go upstairs and this was the real treat. I must have looked like I wanted something, so the upstairs librarian helped me find a biography on Oppenheimer as their book of Prometheus Unbound was checked out, which was the book the recent movie was based which I watched on my plane ride yesterday. I saw some comfy seats by the window with amazing views of the river, so I read in peace and quiet. I plan to come back each day to read another chapter! It was such an inviting space and a hub of community activities. If I lived here, I would come daily. Amazing hours-they open at 8 am on weekdays! Don't miss the second floor if you like beautiful views and peaceful, relaxing places to read. Shout out to the friendly librarians here!

    My partner and I used the study rooms here a lot. We both have disabilities, I have to use a cane…read moreto walk and my general mobility isn't good. This is why we used the rooms, they are the most accessible way for us to visit the library. Well today, one of the upstairs librarians made us move out of the study room we were in, granted it was just after our scheduled time elapsed, but it's the last 45 minutes before closing, there were no reservations after us, and its never been an issue any of the dozens of times we've visited. She popped her head in to tell us we had to go somewhere else so "other people can use the room." After a little back and forth, mostly just asking why its an issue now, we obliged and packed up, then went downstairs to leave. We spoke with a different librarian down stairs to get more insight and all he offered was "we have to make the rooms look available so more people reserve them." He repeated the same answer after we pointed out that no one can make a reservation within the last hour of operation. If there had been an actual reservation after us, thats a different convo. We get up and leave, no issue. The irony that we had to ask a lady that was still in the room when we showed up to leave and then wait for a few minutes while she packed up is just hilarious. I'm severely disappointed in this visit, there seems to be inconsistent enforcement of policy, as well as asinine policies (ex. at the end of previous paragraph). Not really feeling like I want to go to this location anymore.

    Shout out to Deedree(sic) smiling and so helpful on a busy Saturday w my new library card.read more
