I came to the Mesa Verde Library to work on some applications today, and I think that though this…read morelibrary is quaint and small, it is also very peaceful and clean. Upon entering there are stairs that lead to a small upper and lower level for teens that has desks and chairs. I snagged a table with an outlet on the middle level rather easily, and was able to get to work. There was also several computer stations and a place where you can print documents, for a charge I believe. The staff is also very friendly, and I definitely enjoyed doing work here uninterrupted. One thing to note is that if you're expecting complete silence, this might not be the place that you want to, but if you can tolerate some noise and speech, I think that this is a fine enough place to study and do some work.

I loved seeing the sculpture that will be at Burning Man this year. The garden is on the smaller size for a botanical garden (some stuff was under maintenance while we were there) but the gardens were impeccable. My favorite part was all the dahlias. Stunning! Your entry ticket ($12 for adults) also includes admission to the library, which had a bonsai area and some fun history. We were able to easily find free parking nearby. All the staff was so friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about the work. I definitely recommend this spot! Such a beautiful, relaxing space.

Beautiful still. We came the day before Mother's Day for the rose show. Looking forward to coming back when construction completes because at $5 admission that is kind of a rip for how much is there. It took us longer because I recognized someone at the rose show and my son is really into plants but for an average person I'd say 30-45 min is really how much is there right now until they finish the remodel

The library is about 2 minutes from the beach which makes it perfect for fresh air and a cafe type experience without the noise. Just bring your own coffee.

This is a small neighborhood library that keeps with the tradition of what a library is supposed to be. Free wifi and again..no homeless. Great kids section with regular scheduled kid activities on yhe weekends. I am a fan and then some. Great neighborhood library!

It's quaint, small and not overcrowded in the least bit. I've known the research librarians there since I was about 5, and it is always a pleasure to go back and see the people you associate reading with. But the 5 score on this branch is not due to my nostalgia. The friendliness, the easy accessibility and the location are just part of this library's charm. They rent out VHSs still, in addition to DVDs, and the library is always expanding. If there's a book that you need, that they don't have, it's almost always at the central library, a close drive away. This place is the perfect spot to go and get work done, no one bothers you, and you can almost always get an entire table to yourself. It really is an enjoyable place.

This is a nice library - newer than the one they had closer to the middle of campus. I like the third floor (which is the library's 2nd floor - as the first floor is occupied by their computer center/tech lab). It's pretty quiet up here most of the time and the students keep to themselves. There are plenty of outlets on the third floor so you can plug in and recharge your laptop while you study. Plenty of seating as well - I like the ones that line the HUGE picturesque glass windows that overlook the parking lot, Goldenwest Street and beyond. You can see the mountain range far far in the backdrop on clearer days. A great plus is the strong wifi connection here and also that it was nicely ventilated/air conditioned - so it creates a nice refuge from the heat waves we've been having in the area lately. The staff/librarians here are friendly - I haven't had to use any of their services or expertise, but they're always cheerful/happy looking. Restrooms are clean for the most part - the ones on the 1st and 2nd floor tend to get messy throughout the door due to the traffic, the cleanest ones I feel, are on the 3rd floor as most students don't head up that high. Hours can be a bit better - maybe open later during the week and even have hours during the weekends if budget permits. Current hours - Mon/Tues/Wed/Thurs - 8a to 845p and Fridays 8am to 3p.
