The natural light finds its' way in every place that you need it to; the three chapel/citadel steeple-folds furnish us with it. Each study nook(separate from the actual reservable study rooms) all have windows on either side of the table. Internet use, now just as necessary as books in any given library, is easy to obtain. Many, many, many desktops can be found without a pilot. How nice, and rather unexpected, as it were. Next, of course, is the staff. I have yet to find myself being served by a staff member who wears the "I-don't-give-a-sh*t" face draped over their head. Not here. I am more often than not delighted by the staff without asking to be. Book selection is fine, more than fine, really. The monthly theme welcomes you at the door, and again at the mouth of the books in the rear of the building. This is oft-accompanied by "staff picks", which is so fun. You can't really learn much if you stick to your own tastes. No growth is done in this way; the staff picks will help in growing the tastes of the hungry reader who doesn't know where to go next, but does know that staying with what they know just won't do. I believe I've said enough.

They ask you to enjoy your food and drinks on the first floor. - Lots of seating areas sprinkled throughout the building - which is great! Easy to find a quiet empty area to work. - See a librarian to get access to the restroom, they need to buzz you in. The ability to provide so many amazing free services to the community is wonderful!

They really try to bring the community in for cultural enrichment through film, author appearances, swaps, classes and more. Just recently, they hosted Tibetan monks who constructed a sand mandala over a few days' time - such a peaceful experience to watch them create such an intricate piece of work. The library itself is very clean, spacious, and the architecture is very modern - a unique contrast to the century-old buildings that sit just across the street from it. This library is a gem that everyone in this town can be proud of.

There is a massive movie selection and areas designated for teenagers and for children. The librarians are super helpful and have lots of recommendations for the BV area. There is also local art posted around the library, as well as a selection of free books to grab! Definitely come by here if you're in the area.

In my opinion, Allison is a world-class children's librarian in that she knows how to really engage her audience on a first name basis--I suspect she could have majored in child development or the dramatic arts by the way she performs stories aloud. I recommend bringing your toddler to this program even if I had to put a mask on my child and fly across the country to see it. It was a such blessing to listen to Heather et al accompany Allison's oration with a violin and viola pair--what a dream team. What I personally like most about this library are the periodical selections on the subtopics of investing and aviation. I enjoy watching AARP members researching investments on nearby tables as if their lives depended on the effort. I also like the DVD and CD selection in the basement. If I had believed my brother or knew the town was this amazing, I think I would have visited sooner!

The teen room is the only thing that needs improvement. It's tiny. The teens use the computers to play loud video games. Not a complete or current selection of teen fiction. Either the teens of La Veta don't care about the library, or the library doesn't want the teens. Chicken or the egg? However, I think build a great teen room and they will come! I still give this library a 5 Star! Bonus: no fines for overdue books. I don't know why, but that rocks too!

All libraries deserve at least 2 stars…read morefor mere existence and this place isn't bad, it's just not very good for grown ups who want to do anything but get a book and leave. Pros: it's a real Carnegie library, build by the benefactor himself. Thank you, even if you were a murderous union buster. Requisite monolithic architecture is still looking good and they've maintained most of the vibe w/ the lighting and bookshelves upstairs. Downstairs is fully rehabbed into children's area. This place rocks for kids. Central play area surrounded by books reflects an expectation that small children will run around and play while they careen off the bookshelves. Editorial aside: I'm mixed on this new attitude in Libraries. I've seen it in several across the country and as a child of libraries- I literally spent entire summers in the Library in Tulsa, Ok growing up, it is where I learned to CONCENTRATE IN SILENCE. I do not like this new, "it's ok to scream in the Library" attitude. That is for parks. Yes, I am going public with this and all of you with the "toddlers needs to express themselves" argument, please, take them home or to the park for that. That being said, at least at this Library this section is in the basement. CONS: There are bathrooms. The women's works and is not filthy. Otherwise, it is dismal and depressing and reflects this places proximity to the soup kitchen next door. (Lest you think I am expressing a disapproval of homelessness, let me be clear, everyone should be able to use a library and a public bathroom. This doesn't mean those places should be dismal and depressing.) This is not a good place to work or read. There is one large table surrounded by wooden chairs, one small table in the other room. Some upholstered reading chairs in corners- lighting is insufficient to read by, outlets are scarce. Small children tend to run rampant (they've escaped the down stairs) and might bang on things next to you for some time until their fondly indulgent parent decides to interrupt their self expression and actually pick them up and move them rather after telling them to desist in a mild manner for 5 minutes. And yes, I do like children & I like them in libraries- when they are not screaming or banging.
