Ross-University Hills Branch Library

This is THE WORST library I have ever tried to study in. There is only one «quite» room in which to study, and you are not even allowed to close the door. It is right above the check out stand. If you want to check out a book, sure come here, I can’t speak of their selection. However, if you need to study, it’s quieter to be outside than in this infernal building.

Besides the weird hours and having only one restroom that is accessible on the upper level, pretty good place to get some studying done. Employees seem nice and not a whole lot of distractions here.

The library is nice. But I think they only employ special needs people. It’s like pulling teeth to get anything done.

I have been to this library twice, only to check out books that I had reserved online. But I can tell you I like it. Why?
As others have said, there is plenty of parking.
Like other Denver library branches, the librarians are friendly and seem to love what they do.
It isn’t as busy as some other branches.
The after-​hours book drop is accessible. (I used to go to Decker branch, a beautiful historic building off South Pearl. But you had to walk up the wheelchair ramp on the side of the building to access the book drop, because they blocked off the stairs. I’m sure there was a good reason to do that, but it is a real bummer in the winter.)

Marty, the library cop, accused me of stealing stuff from the hold shelf. I don’t like him or Elizabeth Pâté, the Senior Librarian. They treat their customers with supposed «vigilance». I don’t think this bodes well for a place that counts on taxpayer money. Not happy with them.

Awesome library — not too crowded and never have an issue with parking (plus it’s near Sprouts, King Soopers and Starbucks so I can do everything in one stop!). They make it really easy to navigate through, have new cd’s and books and the hold process is simple (you can hold it online and get a text when it’s available). And people are decent here because they keep it quiet, like a library should be, without misbehaved children running wild and homeless not bathing in the bathroom sink. My only gripe is from the lazy girl in me – they don’t have a drive through book drop, you actually have to get out of your car (the horror!) Also, the British dude working the front desk could be a little more personable but oh well, what can you do, those two negatives wont keep me from coming here.

I love to read, so I hit up the library quite often. I love this location, always tons of great new books available, loads of parking spots, nice and quiet and really well kept. BUT… the young men who work there are consistently rude. I have no idea why, but they are so rude every time I check out books, they make me want to stop going there just to avoid the mood they put me in when i leave. Someone needs to talk to them and explain that reading should be fun and the library is awesome, so they don’t have to go out of their way to be horrible to the people who visit.

I’m just learning to navigate the Denver Public Library system, but this location seems to be on-​par with the other two I’ve visited. We’re definitely moving into the digital age since is seems that over half of the materials are either on CD or DVD at this point. That being said, at this location all of their DVDs seem to be old. Browsing through their collection it didn’t seem that they had many current DVD or TV series releases. The good thing about DPL locations is you can order things from any location and pick it up to the place that’s close to you.
DPL branches are a great alternative to Netflix or Hulu Plus — they’re free and you can keep items out for 3 weeks!

I’m lucky enough to have just moved to a place where I can walk to this library in 5 minutes. Why? It’s an absolute beaut, and as silly as it sounds, it’s got me to go back to the library over and over for the first time in years.
You’ll always find a parking spot, and there’s a drive up drop slot if you just need to pass through. The inside is very well laid out, with everything clearly labeled, plus computers with internet for public use, study tables, and if memory serves, even some study rooms.
They have not only books, but DVDs, magazines, comics/​graphic novels, even CDs! I was able to rent some Mystery Science Theater 3000, which I was very stoked about. The selection is huge, and varied.
I can’t speak to the staff as I’ve never interacted with them, but they seem like very helpful, friendly people from interactions I’ve observed. Why have I not interacted with them? Because of the spiffy library version of the grocery store self check out-​scan your card, put your stuff on this square one at a time, and you’re done!
Job well done, Denver Public LIbrary. Thank you for making me love the library again!

Ok so again, I’m a DPL junky.
I can’t believe that I’ve never been to this location but it’s AWESOME! If the man in charge were to build a library this would be it!
Totally easy to find parking, really nice staff, easy access to books and DVD’s.
Lots of space to study or do work, as I do.
AH-​MAZING!

All of DPL is incredible. This particular branch is fantastic in that it has one of the best music and film collections in the entire DPL system. The staff are all friendly and very accommodating. The place isn’t the biggest, but it has a great atmosphere. It is also really clean and chill.
