Denver Public Library

Very centrally located and easy parking. It is a large, bright and well-equipped library. It offers books, movies, digital resources and educational programs for all ages. There are meeting rooms, quiet study rooms and youth areas. Internet access is available. I am now a member as well people living in Colorado can easily get a membership. The staff are very helpful. I recommend it.

Beautiful library, lots of space to read or study across several floors. You need a library card to access the computers, but apart from that everywhere is open to the public. I love the fact they have separate sections for kids and teens on different floors. The curated displays look great too. And they also have a bookshop where the proceeds benefit the library.

Beautiful and spacious library, tons of resources, comfortable reading areas wherever you look. My son was impressed that they even have a large collection of graphic novels and manga! Very impressive.

Updated: we just found the maker space/idea lab. Oh my goodness! What a fantastic resource! My son (13) and I were BLOWN AWAY by the Denver Public Library! Seven floors: 1-4 is ALL THE normal stuff 7 was an art display and balcony Floor 5 was our favorite! The archives floor of the Denver public library - there’s a genealogy section with like Ellis island entries! We could also TOUCH THE BOOKS! There’s also old card catalogs; Old maps from everywhere from like 1800’s; a wooden room custom designed by the architect - NO NAILS - with all the western US history (if you include their storage floor (6) and basement). They call it the structure and history room the Snowglobe. 🥰 We may have nerded out. Highly recommend as just a random visit while we’re in Denver for the month.

This was my first time visiting the Denver library. I was told they recently did a renovation and it looks fantastic. The library offers a wide variety of resources including books (obviously), computers, gaming consoles for the teens in the children's library section, idea lab for anyone wanting to start something new (business idea etc), and an art gallery. My kids loved the newly renovated children's library section. There were so many different things to do from toddler age to teens. And I love the private quiet nooks throughout the library set up for reading. I highly recommend this place. We'll definitely go back for another visit later this summer.
