Smoky Hill Library

I love public libraries, but this one is by far my absolute favorite.Cozy, spacious, and always clean (shout out to the hardworking staff that help keep it this way!), this library is amazing.Not only is the space huge and well-kept, the staff is just awesome and knowledgable and SO helpful. I try to visit every local library, because I just really appreciate libraries, but this one is my number one.They have a great selection of books - cookbooks, manga, novels, how-to's, you name it. As well as movies, music and plenty of other great things. They've got a nice cafe and several spots for lounging or hanging out, and computers for studying or browsing, etc.Since it is a library, please be mindful of your surroundings and other people utilizing the area just like you (bring headphones or ask the staff for some) and pick up after yourself, oh and support your local library if you can! Let's help keep this an awesome place!

This library is awesome! They really have everything a reader would want. There is even a cafe inside where you can pick up some coffee and a snack while you read. I love that this cafe does seasonal drinks too to mix it up.One of my favorite features is on the second floor they have a balcony with rocking chairs that has a view of the mountains in the distance. There is a great kids section with tons of books and tons for them to play. We came once on Thursday morning for story time too. For those working remote they have a phone booth for making private calls on the second floor near elevators. They've even got self checkout and electric car chargers!

One of my absolute favorite library locations! (I literally have 4 library cards for the area) Very bright, clean and inviting. The staff is always so helpful and friendly. This location also has a beautiful cafe with lots of options. They also have an awesome 3D printing station that had me mesmerized for way too long watching a project being built. Makes me almost want to go more often instead of e-reading.

This is my fave arapahoe county library location. Ample parking, ballot drop off box right in front along with a book drop (electronic, chez fancy!) and a cafe? Awww yeah, this is the library of my dreams! I mostly come here to pick up books that I place on hold, they have a very user friendly system and unless the book is all the rage or on the best seller list, your book is typically available within a day or two. Staff is equally amazing and they have a used book sale every now and then (along with a hefty selection of books for sale year round near the cafe). Pro tip: Link up your library card to the Libby app and you can get audio and e books delivered to you!

Attended a seminar here held in a conference room. It was nice to be back in the library. I've been reading books on their app but I love touching the pages of a real book. Parking was available even though the library was busy. The cafe is a cool larger space now and I wandered around looking at the displays. They have many interesting things displayed. And the 3D machine is still cool. The conference room was large and comfortable. The screen is viewable from all seats. The women's restroom was clean and brightly lit. I liked the new high tech book return. And the childrens' section still holds dear memories for me. We spent so much time in there when my son was young. I will have to come back when I have more time to wander in the stacks. I saw people using the computer room and the smaller conference rooms. How wonderful to have a place for the community to gather.

I was Justin got kicked out of Smoky hills library just for coughing and I was threatened that they would call the police department so this library is not a good place to spend time in their Cafe is very terrible and they have a sandwich that is called nut butter and jelly noI'm good

I've been to a lot of libraries and this has to be one of the biggest ones I've been too. It also has a soft, homey feel to it. The interior is decorated more like a house and not a governmental building. The lower floor has meeting rooms, private study rooms, a coffee shop and I believe the children's area. The upper level has computers, quite study tables and a balcony. I'll be coming here more often.

Lovely library! One of the bigger libraries in Arapahoe Library District. Fiction and children's area on the first floor and non-fiction on the second. I mostly use the library for books for my little one and myself, also for story time/ playtime. This location has story times on weekends too and yes the spots fill up pretty quick. They have a separate room for story time so the kids concentrate better. The room is pretty with beautifully painted walls. Ms.Amika does a wonderful job. She always has some new songs/rhymes every week which is good learning for both kids and parents. Yes, parents need them too, break into a song right in the middle of a temper tantrum! Helps sometimes, definitely worth a shot!Really appreciate the efforts of the staff who make early learning and reading real fun. Nice play area too with lots of toys.

This is my favorite library! It's only 9 minutes from my house. Great location and tucked away from the noise of the city. I come here to study 6 days a week for about 4-6 hours in the afternoon. The upstairs is nice and quiet with plenty of cubicles and group tables to study at. I've never had an issue finding a place to sit. Even though it's a busy library with plenty of foot traffic, I've always been able to concentrate and focus on my studies.In the mornings a few days a week, I bring my son to baby story time. They do an excellent job at telling stories and interacting with the kids. The children's library is wonderful and full of toys, books, and activities. I hope to bring my son to more events and activities.This library is great! I recommend it to anyone needing a place to study or bring their kids.

Beautiful children's area. Fantastic book selection , really appreciated the diverse books that were highlighted and the Black History Month wall. My daughter loved playing here, and the staff was very friendly.
