I retired earlier this year and now I have time to visit the library. My closest branch was the Ross Broadway that closed Nov 1 for renovations. The next closest is Thunderbird Man on Santa Fe Drive & 8th Ave. It originally opened in 1918 with funds from Andrew Carnegie and was named the Byers Library. The name was changed in 2021 to honor John "Thunderbird Man" Emhoolah Jr for his efforts in creating tribal schools & colleges . If the weather is bad, I drive and park on nearby streets for 2hrs. Otherwise, I walk thru the Baker neighborhood in about 30 min. This branch is open Mon-Fri from 10am-6pm, except Fri when they close at 5pm. This is one of the smaller branches. Everything is on one floor. There is an elevator on the north end to access the main floor and the basement. There is a community room & 2 restrooms on the lower floor. One half of the main floor is for teens. The other side has fiction & nonfiction books + and entire wall of Videos to check out. They also have magazines and 5 days worth of the Denver Post and USA Today to read. There is 4 computer terminals and 4 wing chairs with UBS ports to charge cell phones. I have seen several local and homeless persons taking advantage of the charging stations and the computer terminals. read more
