    i was trying to get some homework done and was rudely interrupted by an employee and was told that…read morei was not allowed to work in the space there was no clear sign that i could not work there and i believe that it was a bias work place and not happy about the way that i was treate.

    The raving reviews really oversold this place to me…read more We travel a lot and with kids, and sometimes we like to find a library for storytime, participate with the locals, enjoy some of the events libraries hold, etc. We've enjoyed sewing classes and STEAM activities all while traveling and not even checking out books. Sometimes we go just to read in a different environment. The reviews cannot rave more. But, having seen many libraries, I can assure you this was fine, but not overly incredible. This place was swarming with kids and parents, very few of which were masked. For some reason, that bothers me in places like libraries. There were also at multiple families who brought in their takeout lunches and were eating their lunches and walking around licking their fingers as their kids were running around. It just seemed more like a community rec center than a library. Kids were playing tag, running all over the place and it was honestly mayhem. Good luck trying to read in that place! We were there about 2 hours and there were no fewer than 100 people in the kids area while we were there. Having just spent a week in Flagstaff, AZ and visiting their library many times over the week, they required masks and limited capacity. This was obviously not the case here. It seemed disorderly. The play structure was neat, but kids were left to play and were not being kind to one another, telling others they couldn't come into the play area, making my 7yo and 9yo feel very unwelcomed. I did find a sweet parking spot outside and the machine charged me for a full 3 hours with a glitch, so I paid the reasonable (but annoying to pay what you didn't ask for) $4.50 for our library trip. There's also a convenient parking garage across the street you can use, also payment required, as is all of downtown Telluride.

    This is a bit of a weird one…read more It's a gorgeous space, but the spoke and hub design is a bit inefficient. Tons of staff on hand at multiple desks. Lots of little tables along the curving side walls and it gets a lot of natural light. They have a metal detector walking in, a security guard (who is a super friendly old guy), and they require multiple forms of ID and/or your social security number to use the WiFi. An ID + proof of address (driver's license covers both of these) will get you a 120 day use account, then to get an actual card you need another government photo ID or your social. Tons of conference rooms and small rooms on the side you need a library card to book, but they all have 2-3" gaps in the glass doors as well as similar gaps outside a window on the far side, so while you can do calls in there you can't discuss anything sensitive like you could in a dedicated call booth etc. Conversations can easily be heard walking past.

    Pillar of the community!…read more Tremendously good selection of books (and quite a few movies and cds as well), great services provided (internet, story time, conference space), and a friendly and knowledgeable staff. I think my only complaints are that the comic/manga section is a little too mainstream and pop-ish and the video games are only for "teens!" Sorry, but as an adult gamer, I think it would be awesome to have casual gaming for folks above 18. Oh well.
