This library is awesome! They really have everything a reader would want…read more There is even a cafe inside where you can pick up some coffee and a snack while you read. I love that this cafe does seasonal drinks too to mix it up. One of my favorite features is on the second floor they have a balcony with rocking chairs that has a view of the mountains in the distance. There is a great kids section with tons of books and tons for them to play. We came once on Thursday morning for story time too. For those working remote they have a phone booth for making private calls on the second floor near elevators. They've even got self checkout and electric car chargers!

They have a great selection of kids books that are always well organized. I also love that you can get a state park pass to borrow. The hold section is also well organized. Parking can get busy but if you don't mind a short walk, there's parking at the back or towards the king soopers

The lower level is the main section where most people read, do homework, or work on their laptop. This library is within walking distance from other governmental buildings and the History museum, so you can just park your car in one of the parking lots and do everything in a short amount of travel in between them. I really like all the artwork and sculptures in a around these buildings, adds a nice touch.

I've stopped by the Aurora Public Library quite a few times over my years here in Colorado!…read more The building is large and full of natural light. Definitely a different feel than you'd expect from most libraries. They have a great selection of materials. If something you are specifically looking for is not in they can almost always get it transferred in from another branch! In keeping with the ever growing digital age we live in they also offer e-books and other digital rentals through the Hoopla App. How simple! I can check out a book from my couch - can't get any easier than that! Aurora Public Library has some really creative programming! The "Explore Aurora Craft Brews Tour" that not only caters to a different type of library patron, but also gets people out and exploring the ever-growing and changing Aurora community. I LOVE it! All the staff is incredibly friendly and helpful with any questions you may have! From getting you signed up with a library card, to locating an item, to research assistance, and programming too! While I may not reside in Aurora any longer; I do go to school nearby and know I will continue to use this branch of the Aurora Public Library!

A newer library that is part of the Denver Public Library system…read more This library is very well organized with an open floor plan that is easy to find what section you are looking for. It is very clean. There's plenty of parking. It is especially great for the kids. When we visited they were having outdoor time on the lawn. The library had lots of outdoor toys for the kids to play with along with much for them to do inside too. They have a cockpit of a plane inside this library! There is even dress up items the children can try on while pretending to fly the plane. My son absolutely loves this. Besides the plane there are plenty of toys for the kids to play with. They've got story time too of course. If you have a little they will absolutely love their visit here.

The Denver Central Library is one of my favorites, both for the spectacular building and for the…read morehelpful staff and many resources found inside. I have always found the staff knowledgeable, helpful, and very willing to seek out answers, no matter what my issue might be. There are enormous resources available here, far beyond the physical books and media on the shelves. These include community rooms and study rooms, a constant series of seminars and events, the ideaLAB maker space, the children's library, passes for many local cultural institutions, and the Community Technology Center (computer lab, classes, and workshops). There's a Healthy Snack program for children, extensive help to navigate social services for those in need, a number of book clubs, a book store, and a large collection of eBooks and audio books. There's a streaming resource for movies, music, and TV shows, a huge digital magazine collection, and digital access to The Denver Post and The New York Times. Research resources include BizBoost (research services to formulate data for a business plan), Digital Navigators (help with acquiring electronics and using technology), Nonprofit assistance, the Patent & Trademark Resource Center, and student consulting. There is a huge selection of research databases available online. The Western History collection is massive and comprehensive. There are extensive genealogy resources and a large collection of historic maps and geographic resources. The library also has an outstanding art collection. Some of the most important pieces are on loan to the Denver Art Museum, but the seventh floor hallways and the Vida Ellison Gallery on the seventh floor are used to display pieces from the collection between periodic, formal art exhibits. The fifth floor of the building is another highlight. There's a large lobby which is used for mostly historical exhibits. The Western History collection is on this floor. The Gates Reading Room sits within Symbol of the West, a sculpture of massive wooden beams designed by Michael Graves. The area usually features exhibits of photographs and artifacts from the Western History collection and is a spectacular study space. The library started in a wing of the original Denver High School building at 19th and Stout Streets. It notably included the first children's library in the U.S. The facility moved to the iconic Carnegie building (now the McNichols Civic Center Building) in Civic Center Park in 1910 and remained there until the new Burnham Hoyt building at 14th and Broadway was completed in 1956. Noted architect Michael Graves designed the current building which opened in 1995. It incorporates the 1956 structure quite seamlessly. I greatly admire the new building. I think it is one of Graves' best projects. Internally, it is very functional while the exterior is stunning.

Why any library continues using Libby is nonsensical to me. You spend three months waiting for a book that's just an audio file or e-book. Why?

Koelbel Library is a most magnificent midtown venture…read more The entrance stairs are easy to climb there are guard rails, be careful during the heat of the summer, being iron they might be hot. Walk-ability around the parking lot grounds is lovely, fresh cut grass, trees, seating and some shaded parking. The Parking lot is Huge, plenty of room for all meetings and clients! The meeting is immediately gracious at the front desk. To the right side of entrance there is a cafe with Croissant, chia, coffees to your taste and other delights with sitting and "Wifi" Sitting is all around in comfy chairs, plenty of books to read AND, Take a stroll down the beautify stair or elevator. There are desks a plenty, some covered, some large some small. AND a larger meeting room upstairs. Meeting private rooms from 1/2 hour to 3 hours, must schedule in advance!! Personally, I have spent many of hours in this library with my "Service Dog" by my side. Bathrooms up and down stairs, PLUS SEPARATE AREA FOR THE KIDDOS!! I have never had a run in with children as with libraries, this is a well thought out multiplistic public library!!
