Eloise May Library, a branch of the Arapahoe Library District in Denver, Colorado
I love this New Americans section with great resources for those who have recently moved to Colorado.
Little activities for the kiddos.
Great renovation improvements!
New computer area!
Cute alphabet table with examples for each letter of the alphabet. Also, comfy seating.
Bus for kids to play on.
Read a book on chocolate and you get a free chocolate kiss!
Seems like books on chocolate are hot on the racks this season

I haven't ever been inside the library until today and it is so nice and clean and welcoming inside! I had to update my library card which I had to go do in person. The young gal up front was great and patient, walked me through updating my phones library apps and legitimated me out a new card. She also told me about free passes to local places using the library card online which I never knew! Very cool.

Love this library. Love the staff. Love how easy it is to find the things I need. Love the childrens area for my kids. They love reading new books and playing games with the bigger kids on the computers. They also love the legos and little play area. The story time area is great especially when we catch someone doing a puppet show story time. They even pass out snacks to the kids which seems to be a favorite for a lot of the kids there! There's always other kids for my kids to interact with but yet the library is never overly packed. It's very comfortable and convenient. One of my favorite libraries in the area! Oh and they give you credit each time toward you printing the first however many pages for free. It's very generous of them and it's the only library I've found that does that for everyone. I love this library.

Continues to be my favorite library in Denver! Very organized and clean and the employees are top-notch!Due to the Coronavirus, they have created an innovative way to pickup books without even going inside. You order the books or DVDs you would like as always but then you can select the Park & Pickup screen and select the date and time you would like to pickup your items. You then go to the library, park in one of the parking spots where the Park & Pickup Flags are displayed and someone will bring your items to your car. You can return your items in the book drop as always.In order to go inside, it is by appointment only, the same with using the computers.

This is the first library that I've been to that had a wide extensive collection of books and videos in different languages other than English and Spanish. It has an open floor space with the computer section in the middle plus desks around the outer perimeter. The staff was helpful and friendly. Nice place to go when you need to study or just to go when you want to relax and read a book.

I'm from NYC so most libraries are trash. This one is quiet, clean && has a lot of options. It seems to be very organized here. If u need computer access it's pretty simple. They give u a pass & that's about it.They also have free WiFi

This library is very nicely laid out. However very noisy. They need to post signs and enforce 'quiet please others are reading'. Staff need to walk around and manage noise levels for those that come to read and concentrate! I had one staffer who spoke to one lady for 30 minutes. I asked him to tone it down. He continued to talk loud. I might suggest if you have one on one sessions. Use the private classrooms. Let's be respectful of everybody who uses the library. Quiet please.!!!!on staffers, manage the environment!

This is a great neighborhood library on the corner of Parker and Florida. It serves the surrounding area, full of diversity with Russian and Spanish speaking families. I'm so impressed with the languages offered, including the Russian speaking staff and entire section of Russian literature. Staff is friendly and helpful. The online system for checking out books is great, you can do it from home. What I'm also excited about is that you can check out GoPro cameras and iPads here! It's awesome to give people and kids a taste of the technology if families can't afford to buy their own. Often there are no computers or tables available, but that makes me happy because that means kids are still spending time at libraries! Read them books!

Reading other people's reviews it sounds like maybe this place hasn't always been as great as it is now, but I think it's one of the best I've been to yet!Pluses:-friendly staff-lots of computers for such a small branch -great kid's section with little toys to entertain them-books in English, Spanish and Russian(!) including kids books -lots of multimedia platforms including audio books that come on a device you can just plug headphones into (also available for select DVDs)-clean, well organized and a beautiful new building-self checkout kiosksIt looks like some people have a problem with number of kids who use this library and the noise level but I am glad to see so many kids at the library! But then again, I'm of the belief that libraries are community spaces that help instill a love of books and learning from the youngest of ages. I admit I'm biased because I have a young daughter but I feel like kids have as much ownership and right to be at that library as I do, if not more. Adults can easily go somewhere else for quiet but youth and children are often limited in their choices. Ok, I'll get off my soapbox now...Do yourself a favor and "checkout" this library!

This is a great library. On the way home from work for me. Maybe I will change my review later but sitting by the front, the loudest annoying person is a staff member speakingRussian (?) to a couple at the station by the door. Doesn't she know this is a library...OMG!!! Where's her whisper voice?

But the guy was talking so loud i had to move to the other end of the library. Even then, he was too loud. So i put my headphones on, i could still hear him! Why did no one tell him to keep it down?
