I love that most of the upstairs is fully dedicated to the children. There's a mail truck, mailbox, and instructions to make a letter. You can even dress up like a mailman and deliver packages. The storytime room is also located on the second floor along with an outdoor seating area. They have games, puzzles, a large chess/checkers set, connect4, etc. they don't have a huge selection of books for kids or adults, but it's a wonderful place to curl up and read. They have private study rooms as well as very clean bathrooms.

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.

I am writing to share a very concerning experience my son and his grandfather had during Story Time…read moreyesterday. From the moment they arrived, they felt they were treated differently than the other families in attendance. My son was not allowed to have any of the toys that other children were using. Later, when stamps were handed out to the children, every child received one except for my son. The librarian looked him up and down and intentionally moved on without giving him a stamp. My father-in-law also tried asking a few questions about Story Time, but instead of receiving help, he said the librarian raised her voice at both him and my young son. Throughout the program, she appeared to engage warmly with the other children while largely ignoring my son. This was incredibly hurtful for our family. Story Time should be a welcoming and inclusive environment where every child feels valued and treated with kindness. No child should leave feeling excluded. I hope you will look into this matter and ensure that all families are treated with respect and fairness. Thank you for taking the time to hear our concerns, and I would appreciate hearing what steps will be taken to address this situation.

It also looks like they have activities for kids outside library like jenga. It's been a few months since I've been here. And needed to rent a few first time reader books. They seem to have a wide selection of children books based on level of readiness. Also I'm hoping we can partake story time activity one of these weekday mornings. This library even has an upstairs where there are magazines, cook books and the like. I like that they have private rooms for meetings or study groups and seats with a little more privacy. They have a bulletin board on all upcoming events. And online/ their website they have more resources. I want sure if I could rent magazines but there was plenty staff around. When it's time to check out there's a kiosk that prints out the reciept for you. We will for sure be back to participate in story time

This location is heavy on the charm given the stone tower that houses it. In fact, one feels a bit like Rapunzel, climbing a staircase that leads to a secret treasure trove space at the top. It's a pleasant escape and a safe place I cherish, as an introvert. Highly recommend checking this spot out--cute shops are stationed on each side and a Starbucks sits across the street for those who want fuel during their next epic read!
