Seems very efficient for smaller towns and cities to share costs like this. The gym was very reasonably priced. A tad bit too far from my neighborhood, but if you live in the area, it's worth looking into. I was looking for magazines for a vision board project so I asked the library if they had any they were throwing out. They just did some recycling, darn it, but took my name and number for the next time. Sure enough, they did call and give me a stack of magazines, so that was nice of them! Found about this place as I was getting my taxes done with DABC (Denver Asset Building Coalition).

This is going to be a rant, but I am not happy. I used to go to the Gonzales Branch Library all the…read moretime, mainly for the idea lab. It was hands down one of the best things the city had to offer. The staff in the lab were always chill, helpful, and actually seemed to care about people getting creative and making stuff. It wasn't just a room with some machines, it had life. People were learning, sharing ideas, making dope a projects. It actually felt like a community. Now? It's been CLOSED for almost FOUR MONTHS. A quarter of a damn year. For "staffing issues." How long does it take to hire and train a few people for a space that isn't even open all day? Who the hell is running this place? When I have brought it up to staff, they basically agreed that whoever in charge has no clue what they're doing. They didn't say it outright, but you know how to tell when someones like, your not wrong but the walls have eyes and ears. If even the employees are frustrated, what does that tell you? How do you think people in the community like me who cant use the space feel? Meanwhile, the space just sits there, locked up, collecting dust, while our tax dollars are still paying for it. And on top of that, parking at this location is already trash, and when I asked about it, the guy at the front desk smirked and told me to "get used to it" because once the construction next door is done, there won't even be a parking lot anymore. So now we have a closed idea lab and a library that's about to be even harder to get to. Seriously, who thought this was a good idea? And let's talk about this excuse of "improving our experience," as I was told one of the times I dropped in to see if its open again. How does shutting it down completely improve anything? That's straight up nonsense. I asked around, trying to get a real answer, and staff either didn't know or wouldnt say. It was like they were keeping some big secret. Makes you wonder if something shady went down in there. But honestly, even if something shady did happen it doesnt even matter what that was because at this point the real shady thing is whoever is in charge of getting this place running just not getting it done. That is the real crime here. I even went to another idea lab across town, hoping for something similar, and it was dead. No energy, no community feel, just cold and boring. Gonzales had something special, and now it's just gone, and at this point I have to blame mismanagement at the top. Four months is more than enough time to train someone for a whole new job. You could build a small house in that time. But they cant figure out how to staff a room that was only open a few hours a day? Either someone in charge is straight up bad at their job, or they just don't care. So what's really going on? If staffing is the issue, tell people why you have all this staff sitting around at desks all around the place and cant get a person in there to open the place. And let me be real here, staff are only sitting there at those desks because thats what their boss or bosses want them to do. That is the priority of the higher ups or the bosses boss. If there's a plan to reopen, share it. At this point leadership has screwed up, own it and dont keep us in the dark like were idiots. Open the idea lab back up, or at least give the community some real answers. We deserve better than this.

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.

The Carnegie Corporation funded the construction of nine branches of the Denver Public Library. All of them are still standing, although only five retain their original function. This is one of them and it is an amazing building. It was constructed in 1912 in the Renaissance Revival style and is named for the first president of the Denver Chamber of Commerce. It was added to the National Register for Historic Places in 1986 and listed as a Denver historic landmark in 1989. The exterior of the building features extensive terracotta detailing, particularly around the dramatic clerestory windows; however, the most gorgeous feature is the striking, carved open truss ceiling in the main reading room. This looks like something out of Hampton Court (Henry VIII) and is just jaw-dropping. An absolutely wonderful space to lose yourself in a good book. The library sits in the northeast corner of Highland Park. There's a very tiny, cramped parking lot, but there's also lots of street parking surrounding the park.
