    This building is quite beautiful. I had heard about this library and I was in Old Colorado City…read morewith my bestie, so we walked in to check it out! First, this is one of three Carnegie libraries here in the Springs. Carnegie was a philanthropist and one of the things he built were libraries. His foundation would allow cities to apply for grants and agree to certain requirements and made sure they would remain public. Supposedly, he was inspired by the reading rooms that women were organizing throughout the country. The collection of books are only on the main floor of the building, but this library (like with most libraries in the Springs) is part of the Pikes Peak Library District so you can order, borrow, and drop off books at any of the locations within the system. This library will celebrate 120 years this Saturday on Dec 7, 2024. They will be offering a swap out of your library card with a limited edition card if you drop in on Saturday. Never stop exploring!

    I love the Old Colorado City library because it's such a cute location in the staff are very…read morehelpful. It's right across from the park so I'm usually running multiple errands at once and only have to park in one spot. They do have their own parking lot as well which is super convenient especially if you're just doing a quick book drop off. I just saw that they are expanding their hours as well, and they are open till 7 PM most evenings to make it more accessible for those that work until 5 PM.

    Came here to the Aspen Room for a group meeting today. The room was clean, easy to find, and…read morespacious. Parking on the top floor was free. The library itself was updated but filled with vagrants being loud. This should probably be addressed, as I wouldn't want my kids there without supervision. All in all it was a good visit and I will return. I saw dvds as well as printed media, and staff was visible throughout. It was worth mentioning that there were armed guards walking around. Seemed a little odd, but I wasn't hanging out too long in the main area, as I was there for a meeting, and that's it.

    My biggest complaint about this library is that I didn't see any form of free parking - it seemed…read morelike it was all metered. I understand this is downtown, but it seems like a barrier to entry for people who are not as well off and would need the free resources a library offers. Upon entering, the most jarring thing about this library is the "bleeding station" near the entrance (kind of weird it's not just called First Aid?) and the homeless man I saw being escorted toward it. Beyond that, this library was beautifully set up from what I saw (we didn't explore quite as much as usual due to the limited time we had on our meter) with the usual separate kids area (which had a sign that disallowed anybody from sitting there who wasn't with their child). This one didn't seem to have nearly as much activity space or resources as the other 3 libraries I've been to in the area, and seemed to have a bigger emphasis on baby and toddler age toys than anything else. I still think this is a great library, but I wouldn't go out of my way to come to this one, especially since I live on the opposite side of town from it.
