Douglas County Libraries - Highlands Ranch

I LOVE libraries. Usually I go to the Lone Tree library, but this time we went to Highlands Ranch. The librarians are helpful and kind. There are fabulous holiday trees!!! So many themes! Books! Authors! I was enchanted. How fun! And absolutely lovely!!This is a very nice library, spacious and with lots of well-designed seating. And a Second Chapter used book store! .

A great library to work from! It was easy to get a library card with the employees being so quick and friendly to work with. This library in highland ranch is my favorite. If you love libraries, this is a great spot on nice days. There is a nice little park nearby and outdoor tables!

I got 2 kids and of all the libraries nearby, I will surly make the 17 min drive out to this one anyday for an adventure for my kids. The space is open, the staff is friendly, the place is super clean, and the story times are the BEST I have ever seen. Seriously, I have rarely had the same two staff members and hands down every single on of them have presented and enjoyed and make it all about about the kids. It is so much fun! You see the kiddos and the parents involved and activley moving all about. We love specifically coming here in the winter days because the space is open and has varity activities for kids. You have gotta check it out.

I called my local Castle Rock Library only to find that it was closed for construction and was transferred to a girl name Liz. I honestly don't know what branch she is at but she is an absolute gem and asset to the Douglas County library system. I was seeking information on a French tutor and wondering if there is a local resource available. She checked within the library, she checked on Google, and she checked among coworkers to get me any information she could, despite the fact that it was not a resource provided by the libraries. THANK YOU Liz and thank you to the Douglas County Libraries for hiring such amazing people!

This library is my home crib. It's accompanied me through studying for the SAT in high school and studying for the GRE for grad school. It went through a major revamp in April 2019 and it's even better than before. I'm emotionally attached to this library but if I'm being as objective as I can, it's still the bomb. The renovation added a more modern feel and some colors to the equipment. There are also cool fireplaces on both floors.First, it's the perfect place to study or work. That's what you'll usually find me doing. The second floor is a haven with its plethora of desks, large windows and mostly quiet atmosphere. There's is a beautiful view of civic green park, it's fun to people watch when you need a break. There is also a lovely terrace overlooking the same park, in the summer time, it's a great place to grab a book and hang out. There are also nice conference rooms you can book.Second, it's great for kids. Especially with the park so close by. There is an awesome kids corner on the first floor. It's more like kids floor than kids corner as there are always kids running amuck. I don't explore it as much as I usually head straight to the second floor, but it seems there are always activities going on. Third, it's convenient. The parking lot is large enough I haven't seen it completely full. If it does get full, there is a larger parking area across the street. It's also within walking distance to a shopping plaza that has Safeway, Michael's, McDonald's, Einstein bagels, etc.

This library is fantastic! They have a cute little outdoor "garden" where the kids can play with magnetic letters. The indoor kids area has a fun play area with a market and kitchen along with shopping carts. The librarian who helped my daughter find the books she wanted, was super helpful. She walked us to where our books could be found and put a book on hold at another library, that we were looking for.

My company did a credit seminar at the library in Lone Tree. We worked with Michael Morrow and he was amazing. The process of setting up was smooth and he was very helpful. If ever you need to schedule an event I would highly recommend the Douglas County libraries.

I love the customer service that this library provide! They go above and beyond for you. I was looking at getting a study room. They were all booked up. One of the librarians went out of there way to find me and tell me that one of the rooms was now available for me. I would give a 10 Star if I could. I've never seen this level of customer service anywhere. You guys are awesome thank you!

This is a wonderful library for the whole family - great events and facilities for the kiddos downstairs and quieter spaces for adults upstairs. I particularly enjoyed picking out a few books and previewing them in one of the leather chairs upstairs near a nice fireplace. Big windows also provide lots of natural lighting, there's a play/pretend grocery store for the kids, there's story time on the weekends (my kid loves going to that), and the librarians are all super friendly and helpful. Definitely a must-see for anyone living in the area.
