Arapahoe Library District

I think the Koelbel library is great! It’s part of the arapahoe library district — which has a nice network of a lot of libraries, an easy to use website, and even an app! The app makes requesting books or movies really easy and I like how you can see how many holds there are for each item requested.
This library is currently under construction (which I don’t actually know why — since it was really nice to start) and the signage says it’ll be complete in spring 2015. The construction makes it a bit more cramped and confusing, but it’s still nice and I’m sure it’ll be even nicer when construction is complete!

Huge!!!
I enjoy this library simply because it is so spacious and has very distinct areas.
It also has a bookstore and a small coffee shop in the back of the bookstore which is a nice added touch.
I like to go down to the lower level to find a corner to sit in. That is also where the public computers are located.
I do also like to sit in the Science Fiction section on the main level as I browse through the SciFi/​Fantasy and Graphic Novel books.
The Children’s area is really cute. I don’t go in there very often since I don’t have small children but I like to recall my childhood from time to time and just walking in that area helps get me there.
I’ve witnessed a couple of incidents involving older patrons exuding a unjustified «privileged» mentality and showing their true colors but, I don’t allow ignorance to dampen my day.
I will say this library is quieter than Castlewood which I like.
