    Great space to bring the littles! Lots of fun play areas and toys for kids of different ages. Tons of book recommendations and lots of space for them to explore and roam to their heart's content. Coffee shop has a good mocha if you're looking for a quick pick me up.

    Nice medium sized neighborhood library that is in the Arapahoe county district of the Greenwood Village area. It includes nice quiet study areas for when you want to read a book, work on the computer, or do some homework. This location also has a small cafe when you want something to eat or drink. Good for the whole family.

    Snacks at the cafe.

    I work from home and needed a change of scenery, so I decided to try out this library. Now, it's been a while since I've been to a library, I and don't have any outstanding or positive experiences to speak of...but I was genuinely surprised at how warm and welcoming it felt as soon as I walked in. While I needed to get to work, I still took time to walk around and get acquainted. On the top floor is the cafe to your right as you walk in. I didn't grab anything but it all looked quite good and not like some afterthought. Both tables and high-tops to sit at, plenty of light. Across the stacks are comfortable chairs facing beautiful, nearly floor to ceiling windows. Downstairs, you'll find computers, conference rooms, study rooms and both tables and quiet nooks for reading, studying or working. This is where I spent my afternoon and got a ton of work done. No noise issues either, even when a large meeting let out. Everyone was quiet and respectful. The most pleasant surprise was how modern this library is compared to others I've used. Every seating area is not far from a plug for your laptop and there's an abundance of USB plugs available as well. Even the wifi connection was steady. Maybe this is all standard these days, but I wasn't expecting to have such an easy time setting up shop. I'm yet to explore and take out books, since I forgot my wallet and didn't have any identification to get a card. However, there seems to be a good variety without being overwhelming. Very efficient, which I appreciate. I'll be back soon!

    This is the best library i've been to by far. It is spacious, friendly and inviting. It has a nice cafe and a used bookstore. The is a wonderful DVD/CD collection and the easiest, breeziest hold system ever. I wish I could live here. With two floors I never leave with out a ton of books and magazines. The librarians are always helpful and friendly. Once, after returning from a vacation I found that I had $7.00 in fines. I apologized for keeping the book away so long and explained that I was away, and the librarian erased the fines!! There are also like 30 Mac computers down stairs and a great selection of magazines ( I catch up on my People magazine reading here). Today would be a great day to spend at the library, but for now I'll just wrap my self in blankets and not move.

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.

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.
