    My family and I have come to this library before a couple years ago. We first came here to get…read morepassports for our kids, and I highly recommend it if you need passport services. Just be sure to book your appointment online! The appointment slots open I think exactly one week in advevery Monday (I'm not 100% sure on that though, and the time slot optionsare very limited and fill up quickly. If you can snag an appointment, it's one of the easiest and smoothest places to get passports done, especially with kids. Most recently, we used one of the multipurpose rooms here for a homeschool class event, hosted by an employee from the Las Vegas Natural History Museum for an ocean life class. I really love that the museum does that and we've always had great experiences with classes like this brought to us. Overall, this is a fantastic library for so many reasons, not just for checking out books, but also for community events, meeting spaces, and passport services. We've had nothing but great experiences here!

    I usually really enjoy Windmill Library, which is why I decided to come here today instead of going…read moreto a coffee shop while I worked on some of my journal projects. The library is always clean and welcoming, there are beautiful art displays throughout, and there are plenty of comfortable areas to sit, read, study, or work on a laptop. Unfortunately, today the noise level was honestly surprising. There were groups of kids and teenagers playing games on the computers, talking loudly, yelling, and using pretty inappropriate language. It got to the point where I had to put my headphones in just to focus on my work. What was most disappointing was that staff didn't seem to address the noise, and I didn't see any security around during my visit. I completely understand that libraries are community spaces and don't need to be completely silent, but there should still be a reasonable expectation that people can come here to read, study, or work without excessive noise. I'm hoping today was just an unusually loud day because I've always liked this location. I'll probably give it another try in a few weeks, maybe once school is back in session. It really is a beautiful library, I just wish the environment today matched the peaceful space it's meant to provide.

They have a little store with items like drinks and snacks and other stuff you might need . It also sells gas . It has like 5 video porker machines if you wanna play . I got a slurpe and a candy bar and sat on the side where they have a large western mural and some chairs with tables and some books if you want to read something . It is covered and you can just relax and look around the town and the park . The park has clean restrooms also . Sometimes you will see wild burros munching on the grass . Enjoy the quiet and maybe walk around the town . There is even a restaurant there now called Cottonwood Station . I haven't tried it yet .

It's about 12 miles from the Albertsons at W. Charleston and Desert Foothills, where many cyclists park, to Blue Diamond, so it's a popular turn-around spot. We often stop here to use the bathroom (clean), fill up our bottles, and buy some cookies or a popsicle on hot days. They even have free ice, which is very much appreciated when you're sweating like a piggy. If you're lucky, you'll see a bunch of burros who hang out at the park nearby.

    Honestly, this school has been a huge disappointment and feels like a waste of time and money…read more Communication between students and administrators is extremely unorganized, and policies seem to change constantly without properly informing students. It creates so much unnecessary stress and confusion. My friend currently attends here and absolutely hates the experience. Some professors are helpful, but others are rude, overly nitpicky with certain students, and don't even teach the material clearly or effectively. It honestly feels inconsistent depending on who you get. Even emailing staff and administrators is a nightmare. It feels like you have to turn into a Karen just to get a clear answer or have someone actually respond and help you. Students shouldn't have to constantly chase people down just to get basic information. Clinical scheduling is also a complete mess. Sites keep changing last minute, schedules are unclear, and students are expected to just adjust with little communication. For a program that's supposed to prepare students professionally, the organization and support are seriously lacking. Overall, the environment feels disorganized, frustrating, and poorly managed. I wouldn't recommend this school unless you're prepared to deal with constant confusion and lack of communication.

    Buffy's Book Boutique is an incredibly fabulous bookstore named after the owner's puppy. They're…read morelocated on Durango and Spring Mountain. You'll find them at Durango Plaza behind CJ's Italian Ice Cream. There's good parking. Current hours: Monday to Wednesday, 10am to 7pm Thursday to Saturday, 10am to 8pm Sunday, 11am to 6pm Inside is bright, spacious, and beautifully organized! I love how the entire boutique is wonderfully furnished and cleverly decorated in awesome LEGO themes, it makes the place feel so inviting, happy, and playful! I wanted to see what books are available, and they have an amazing genre selection for sci fi & fantasy, history, magic & mythology, science & tech, self development, social science, reference, suspense & thrillers, crime & mystery, young adult, romance, and classics. They also have cool books for cooking, mixology, brewing, humour, gaming (like Dungeons & Dragons), plus a used books section. In the far back corner is a super cute children's area. I'm impressed! Buffy's Book Boutique is no ordinary bookshop and offers so much more. They sell various cute merchandise like magnetic bookmarks, tote bags, and stickers. There's snack bins for potato chips! There's a Buffy's Book Club too! They meet every month, and you can find the schedule on their website. They even host fun events like a Book Bedazzling class! There's one coming up on September 5, 2026 at 5pm to 8pm. It's $20, and they provide all the supplies. Also, they're the only bookstore that offers Coptic Bookbinding. Pricing is $30. I noticed an upcoming workshop for Saturday, September 12, 2026 at 3pm to 7pm. This is a great class for people who have attended a workshop before or consider themselves crafty. I checked the availability and found out that the class is full, and they fill up fast! They do offer it every weekend, so you definitely want to book ahead. Just a note, they're having a release party for the new Sarah J. Maas book, celebrating A Court of Thorns And Roses Book 6, coming on October 26, 2026 at 8pm to 10pm. Ticket price is $15, or $45 for the book and event entry. Overall, this was an exciting and pleasant visit! The staff here is very kind, welcoming, knowledgeable, courteous, friendly, and helpful!
