    "The Double Gateway to the Rockies"…read more I stayed here in Lyons on my trip to Rocky Mountain National Park because it was only 20 miles away. They also had more affordable options than Estes Park. It is a small town with a population of around 2,000. I enjoyed taking some time to explore Lyons during my brief visit here. The town of Lyons has a lot of cool-looking historic buildings. Many of the restaurants and stores are all within walking distance in the downtown area. I was able to do some shopping at the local grocery store because my hotel had a kitchen. For coffee, I spent time at Barking Dog Cafe. The coffee is smooth and the customer service was great. For food and drinks, I recommend MainStage Brewing. They specialize in pizza and good beer and have a vibrant outdoor patio area. All of these places are located on the main road through town. The Lyons Redstone Museum is free and open to the public on a donation basis if you want to learn more about the history of this town. It is housed in the town's school house. The Rockygrass Bluegrass festival and the Folks Festival folk music festival are two annual music festivals held at their outdoor venue called Planet Bluegrass. Lyons is a great place to stay if you love outdoor recreation activities like camping, hiking, fishing and whitewater kayaking.

    My good friend Christian B., is right. The town of Lyons is wonderful and one of my favorite stops…read moreduring my trip to Estes Park. Although, I've been in and out of Estes Park for the last 15 years, I haven't actually explored the Town of Lyons much. We came here during our peak to peak scenic byway drive, and figured that this town was only 30 minutes away. It was absolutely the emporium of small town! Beekeepers were spotted with local "bee-farming," and local honey for sale. Most shops were simple, supported by the community and seem to be all the rage in honey!! This community is friendly to senior citizens, because we saw lots of senior citizen friendly neighborhoods. One of them, were actually located across the street from Sandstone Park, and Lyons Depot Library. Those are two spots that make wonderful activities for anyone. We saw also lots of friendly looking people, who waved back and smiled often. It seems everyone built a foundation of friendship and familiarity here.

    I had a very disappointing experience at the library today…read more I was printing a large set of documents when the printer jammed. I'm a teacher, so I'm very familiar with these exact printers and know how to clear a paper jam. However, I also understand that many businesses prefer employees to handle jams themselves to avoid damage, so I went to the front desk and politely said, "Hey, I just jammed the printer. Could someone help me?" The employee's response was simply, "So?" I honestly just stared at her because I couldn't believe it. I said, "I can unjam it, I guess," and she replied, "No, no." I then asked what would happen to my print job since it stopped in the middle of printing. I had already loaded $20 onto my printing card because I was printing a large number of documents. I wasn't worried about a few cents--I just wanted to know if the print job would resume or if I would have to send everything through again and be charged twice. Instead of answering my question, she laughed and said, "We'll refund your pennies." The issue was never about the money. It was about getting a simple question answered and being treated with basic respect. Her comment was rude, dismissive, and completely unprofessional. To make matters even more frustrating, it took nearly 40 minutes before I was able to finish printing my documents. As someone who has worked with these same printers for years in a school setting, I know a typical paper jam can usually be cleared and the printer back up and running in just a few minutes. Waiting that long wouldn't have bothered me nearly as much if someone had communicated what was going on or treated me with courtesy. I understand that machines malfunction. What I don't understand is treating patrons with sarcasm and dismissiveness when they're simply asking for help. Customer service costs nothing, and unfortunately this experience was one of the rudest I've had at a library.

    Wow - this library is beautiful. The staff is so very friendly. We were very impressed with the…read moresize and the layout of this library. There are meeting rooms, places to quietly read or do research. I look forward to using it frequently.
