Although this location is the closest to us and has been beautifully redesigned recently, I do feel…read moreit's important to share our experience. The website says book donations are encouraged, but unfortunately, we've found the staff to be quite unwelcoming when we've tried to donate books. They often seem reluctant to accept the books we bring in, which has been very different from our experiences at other Douglas County libraries, where the staff have been appreciative and helpful. Unfortunately, this has gone beyond just our experience with donating books, and it's become a pattern that has left us feeling unwelcome. Because of that, we'll continue driving to a farther library where we feel more comfortable.

I prefer other Douglas County locations over this one. It is smaller than alot of the other…read morelocations. On the bottom floor is the nonfiction and fiction. On the top floor is the kids area, dvds, and an outdoor patio space. The kids play area is mail and delivery themed. It is a smaller play area especially compared to the castle rock kids area. It is located next to alot of other stores so you can visit and get errands done easily. There is a King Soopers grocery store close, post office right across the street.

This location is heavy on the charm given the stone tower that houses it. In fact, one feels a bit like Rapunzel, climbing a staircase that leads to a secret treasure trove space at the top. It's a pleasant escape and a safe place I cherish, as an introvert. Highly recommend checking this spot out--cute shops are stationed on each side and a Starbucks sits across the street for those who want fuel during their next epic read!

We're currently on a mission to check out all the nearby libraries to see which is best for our kiddo (or at least offer a little variety to the one we normally go to) and this one definitely seems to have a little less for kiddos to do, but it's still a cute area, well set apart, which various toys and activities for each age. Personally, I love the view and all the ducks and geese out back, and it's not very crowded. It's a little noisier when there are more people here due to it being one large room and not really have separation between areas besides the stacks (and the community room has doors). Also, the Gecko is a nice touch!

I set up a tutoring class and have been doing so for over a year now here. As anyone who knows this…read morelibrary knows, it is far from quiet. I was asked to leave a section because we were 'too loud' and people we're complaining, as children were literally running around the place like it was a playground. I was told maybe I should find another place to meet with students. Definitely NOT pleased with our public safe space.

We love coming here because there's always something to do. They have read aloud time for the little ones, they offer a quiet area where you can study and also have a gaming room too. Of course my kids were excited and wanted to go in but keep in mind that there's certain times permitted. Staff are always so helpful. From the kids area, teens and upstairs at the customer service table, they're available to lend a helping hand. A bonus is that they offer a charging station for cell phones outside their building. You'll need a 4-digit code to access it. Definitely check it out if you're in the area.

This particular branch butts up to a beautiful park with water features, gardens and more. In fact, the second floor of this library provides a serene view of Civic Green Park, alongside cozy, well-cushioned armchairs tucked in bright corners and ergonomically friendly office chairs on wheels, facing broad desks for laptop use, backpacks and paper writing. The second hand bookstore upstairs often offers sales and it's a fun escape to browse the selection on hand. There are private conference rooms for studying, along with strong WiFi, as well as an enticing children's section with colorful play stations. My favorite time of year to visit is without a doubt the holiday season. The staff goes all out with themed Christmas trees stocked full of whimsy, wonder and inspiration. Parking can get tight, depending on calendar events, but there is overflow parking next door. The bathrooms are always clean and well stocked, on both the first and second floor. Strongly recommend checking this place out if you're in the mood for magic.

I am writing to share a very concerning experience my son and his grandfather had during Story Time…read moreyesterday. From the moment they arrived, they felt they were treated differently than the other families in attendance. My son was not allowed to have any of the toys that other children were using. Later, when stamps were handed out to the children, every child received one except for my son. The librarian looked him up and down and intentionally moved on without giving him a stamp. My father-in-law also tried asking a few questions about Story Time, but instead of receiving help, he said the librarian raised her voice at both him and my young son. Throughout the program, she appeared to engage warmly with the other children while largely ignoring my son. This was incredibly hurtful for our family. Story Time should be a welcoming and inclusive environment where every child feels valued and treated with kindness. No child should leave feeling excluded. I hope you will look into this matter and ensure that all families are treated with respect and fairness. Thank you for taking the time to hear our concerns, and I would appreciate hearing what steps will be taken to address this situation.
