Came here for a group meeting today. The room was clean,…read moreeasy to find, and spacious. Parking in the large lot was free. The library itself was unexpectedly found in a business plaza. It can easily be missed. It was a good visit, and I will return. I saw dvds as well as printed media, and staff was visible throughout. The meeting room was clean and spacious. With the doors shut, it was quiet and private. There are homeless people outside and inside, but they didn't seem to bother anyone. Although one did randomly enter the conference room and start washing up using the sink in the room.

Sometimes I just need to print something really quick and they have 4 computers that you can use for 15 just for that reason. You do not have to reserve the computer, if it is not being used then you can use it. I really enjoy this Library. If you want to get away from the craziness of the bigger libraries then this is the one to go to!

Free internet (you have to click accept on the pop-up screen), and it is 10c for black and white and 25c for color to print (just ask the front desk for your documents after you print at one of their computers). They have an excellent selection of books, some for sale downstairs, the atmosphere is geared toward family/kids, and everything about this library is clean and well-organized. It was a great place to study!

On 12/27/25 my daughters and two other families with children were playing in the children's area…read more As soon as Heather came to the area, she was unhappy that the children were there and playing. Everything they did she had a problem with. It was like she was having a bad day and looking for any reason to snap at them. She ran the other two families away and then it was just my two kids. My oldest daughter went over to her and asked nicely for one of the craft bags that she was putting out. Instead of just handing my daughter one, she told her no not until I'm done, even though all she was doing was literally setting them out. I went to report the experience, and even then, she followed me to the front desk trying to get me to leave without speaking to someone first. I hope the library has cameras that will pick up her nasty tone and attitude. Someone like that really shouldn't be working around children. I say all this with such sadness. Libraries have always been a safe place for me. They are usually a safe place for children, full of such kind, helpful librarians. I share this feedback in hopes that this situation can be corrected.

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!

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.

This has been the smallest library I've been to in the Colorado Springs area so far - I'm not sure…read moreif it's actually smaller than the Monument location, but the amount of materials available must be smaller at this location. There's a community room that's pretty sizeable, which likely takes up a lot of the area that books would be stored, but it was actively being used as I was here today. Also, this location has been the least populated of all the locations I've been to (which I tend to visit at the same day/time, so it feels like a fair comparison), although the adult side had the most people reading and using computers, with nobody at all in the kids or teens areas while I was here. This location still has a decent sized kids play area (though there aren't a lot of play items, but they're all great quality and in good condition), and the different areas are better separated than Monument as well, so it didn't feel like my kiddo was being too loud while we were playing. I have yet to experience anybody working at a location treating us in a less Tham welcoming way as well - and that was no exception with us today!

PPLD has a strong system of reserving holds, you can go online with your card and select books and other resources from any branch and they will courier them to the branch you choose and set them aside for you to pick up. We have five big readers in the family and we home school, so this last service is invaluable. We can research which books the family can use or might be interested in, look them up in the online catalogue, and pick them up when they are ready. This has turbocharged the kids' reading because there are no gaps in reading, there are always books ready for them when we stop in town. Of course, they usually browse the shelves in addition. Also great for video resources. Last great use, there are a ton of school resources that look interesting but are too expensive to sample over and over. PPLD's reserve holds option lets me check out these resources, review them, and either decide they don't fit us or go ahead and buy the books for the school year. This doesn't just save us money, it saves us wasting time on curricula that aren't a good fit. Can't praise the place enough! Much of this applies to the other branch we use, also, so I'll be pasting this there.
