Plenty of parking and mostly shaded at that. Inside you'll find your usual library amenities. Printers for use and computers. DVDs and CDs along with other fun equipment you can she's out for home usage. With the Libby app you can also reserve and search library materials in the system. The kids section here is AMAZING though. Multiple story times every week for kids as well as families in addition to Dungeons and Dragons and a Lego club for older kids. This library does a ton of events weekly and monthly which I regret not knowing about sooner. One especially fun thing about the kids section is they do a monthly scavenger search. Valentines themed for last month and St. Patrick's day for March this year. Thought as an adult it would be easy but they do an awesome job of keeping it challenging for all ages. It's worth coming back at least once a month to see the new theme alone! Not a train guy but in the entryway they have a nice train setup. Costs a dime but the train runs for a good amount of time through the town and the tunnel.

Everyone that works there is always ready to help.. they have free copies that you could print up to 25 pages, which is really helpful for a lot of people in the idea that need maybe a résumé printed up or other general printing they also have color printing, which is 25 pages for free. They have a little choo-choo train village that takes $.10 to see the little train go around the village. My nieces and nephews grew up watching it. I still enjoy watching it and I know that many other children and families enjoy it also so in order to reciprocate free copies I leave change for the choo-choo train..... just something that I enjoy ! They recently had a fire burned down the playground area and so they have rebuilt. There is pictures that you can see but if you're in the area stop by and check it out it's got a lot to offer. There's even private rooms where you can go and sit at least up to an hour for meetings of any sort. Enjoy. Thanks For The Read Until Next Time!

There are tall tables for several to join or singularly - "PLUG IN" some playing online chess, others' concentrated on projects or gaming. Additionally, there are more larger private rooms, where we had a community Voting and registration, well organized and simple. These rooms host a diversity of functions, from story time to reading of a particular book week for anyone who enjoys listening. AND Spanish classes conducted by Emmanuel! (see the short video below) This Library is located across from Belmar shopping, across from Whole Foods, Target, and a host of many boutiques/stores in Lakewood.

Seriously though, lots of option here. CD's, DVD's, books, magazines, graphic novels, and comic omnibus collections. A nice kids corner with all the essentials plus toys and even a nice spot to sit and read. Did I mention this branch has a seed library?! Taking up a community treasure to a whole nother level! Toddler story time is Thursdays downstairs from 10:30-11:00 and infants are on Tuesdays during the same time period. When the weather is nice it's directly out front taking advantage of the nearby park. Some parking out back and a lot of street and neighborhood parking directly in front. Denver did recently change some of the parking signs so be sure to peep before parking incorrectly. Didn't see a notice of the change. Pretty sneaky Denver. The staff here is super friendly. What I love to see and expect from any librarian but the people here really love this location and their jobs. Thanks for being such a valued part of the community!

Definitely worth a visit if you've never been. I did not know this but there are so many benefits to getting a library card from the Denver Library system, free print jobs - up to 200 pages a day, free access to Udemy and Libby.... and being able to reserve books online... the card is good for 80 years. I know this is probably known information but the Udemy platform was new to me. Come check them out, such a charming library!

    My friend made reservations for High Tea at TeaLee's tea house. This is not your typical, run of…read morethe mill, high tea. The atmosphere was amazingly calm and welcoming. The owner herself, Miss Risa was taking care of creating this unique culinary experience. The first service we chose a peach oolong. This was served with a green salad and broccoli quiche. Wonderful! I cannot tell you what the salad was dressed with, but the flavors!!!! The quiche was absolutely perfect from crust to cheesy top. Second service was Yellow submarine. This refreshing chamomile was infused with dried pineapple and mango. The first cup was good, but the second was delightful. The fruit had time to meld with the chamomile and created an epic infusion. The third service was a Moroccan mint. This was just as wonderful as you would expect. We were served an open face curry egg salad and a homemade fermented cucumber on a seasoned cream cheese. The flavors were wonderful. The sweet serving was a blueberry scone with Lemmon curd, apple cake and macrons. Service was top notch, the owner came over to chat with us. We even had a chance to spend time with one of the guides from the local Black History Museum. This was a delightful end to our amazing day! Thank you for the hospitality

    I made a reservation several weeks in advance for high tea for myself and five girlfriends because…read morewe were excited to try something new together. The concept sounded perfect: a traditional three-tiered tray of finger sandwiches and sweets, a plated item like quiche, and bottomless tea over a three-hour reservation. To start with the positives, the staff were kind and polite, and the owner was accommodating when our group size increased closer to the date. The tea was good, and I appreciated that the teapots were kept warm with tea lights. The space itself is charming, and we genuinely enjoyed having time to sit and catch up. The food was delicious, they are amazing cooks. The biggest issue was the timing of the food. In every afternoon tea I have attended, the three-tiered tray is brought out shortly after being seated so guests can graze while enjoying tea. A plated item may follow later, but there is always something to snack on early in the experience. Here, we went almost two full hours without any food at all. The quiches arrived around the two-hour mark, and the three-tiered tray, which is the centerpiece of afternoon tea, did not arrive until about fifteen minutes before our three-hour reservation ended. No one was rushing us out, and we did enjoy being together, but waiting an hour and a half to two hours for any food simply is not reasonable. We were genuinely hungry for the first half of the visit and then suddenly had a large amount of food placed in front of us near the end. Instead of grazing leisurely, we were left trying to eat everything in a short window of time. With a reservation made weeks in advance and only one other small table present, it was surprising that nothing was delivered within the first hour. Even reversing the order and bringing out the tiered tray first would have completely changed the experience. We also received only one three-tiered tray for six people at a price comparable to other Denver tea houses where each guest receives their own. When we asked for boxes to take the remaining items home, we were told they only had paper sleeves. Afternoon tea items are delicate by design, and paper slips are not suitable for transporting layered finger foods without crushing them. Given that the tray was delivered minutes before the reservation ended, proper takeaway containers should have been available. Tea service was steady for much of the visit, but toward the end all three teapots sat empty for about ten to fifteen minutes, and I had to go upstairs to request a refill. This was secondary to the food timing, but it added to the overall sense that pacing and oversight were lacking. I truly wanted this to be a special afternoon, and I appreciate the kindness of the staff and the availability of vegan options. However, afternoon tea should feel thoughtfully paced, with food arriving early enough for guests to graze comfortably. Waiting nearly two hours for any food and then receiving the full tiered tray minutes before the reservation ended does not align with what high tea is meant to be.
