Rockrimmon Branch Library

This has been the smallest library I've been to in the Colorado Springs area so far - I'm not sure if it's actually smaller than the Monument location, but the amount of materials available must be smaller at this location. There's a community room that's pretty sizeable, which likely takes up a lot of the area that books would be stored, but it was actively being used as I was here today. Also, this location has been the least populated of all the locations I've been to (which I tend to visit at the same day/time, so it feels like a fair comparison), although the adult side had the most people reading and using computers, with nobody at all in the kids or teens areas while I was here. This location still has a decent sized kids play area (though there aren't a lot of play items, but they're all great quality and in good condition), and the different areas are better separated than Monument as well, so it didn't feel like my kiddo was being too loud while we were playing. I have yet to experience anybody working at a location treating us in a less Tham welcoming way as well - and that was no exception with us today!

Do librarians even try to keep people quiet anymore? I guess we have to live with the school being close to this library and kids just hanging out at the library being noisy, but tonight there must have been an adult meeting scheduled and the adults were incredibly loud. What's the deal?

I have found the library staff consistently and kindly responsive to my inter-library and other requests. They are exemplary! Judith Schaeffer

Family friendly. I would highly recommend it. The staff is very nice and helpful. Perfect for someone who is looking for a quiet place to work on a project or just to relax and read a book. Definitely worth checking out!
