Las Vegas-Clark County Library System – Sunrise Library

Very nice, clean, and the librarians are super sweet. Thank you for helping. :)
Is brighter than other libraries and the rooms are free and available as you call in before arrival

Computers are good. I like how you can reserve a computer if need be. I don’t like how you can only be on the computers for 2 hours max per day. Do they not know how long job applications take? I mean if no one is waiting you should be able to continue use on the computers. I do like how u can check out your own books without waiting in line. Staff was friendly also.

This is a great library in a very empty area. They have excellent travel resources, usually always at least one empty computer for use, air conditioning, seats to relax and read in. They also have a great selection of spanish books as well as english books. The young adult section is large to at thIs library so great for younger readers to get them into reading.
Their hours are pretty good too, about 10am to 8pm so plenty of time to stop in. This library also offers English classes to Spanish speakers every week for free but I have heard they are big and it’s hard to learn anything.
Overall though this is one of my favorite library’s in Vegas and Super to my job. If in this area I suggest to check out this library.

When I come here, I’m under the impression that I will be going to a library. So as a library, I kind of have certain expectations, the top one being that it would be quiet and that understood rule about libraries would be enforced.
Instead, I have this guy right across from me watching some show on his tablet without earphones (rude and inconsiderate), cell phones going off… And off and off, Conversations echoing from the lobby, and this girl who works here stacking books like she hates the workd, which I am gathering from the banging of the books on every shelf.
Or maybe by expectations of libraries are a little too much. I don’t know.
I only put two stars because this place is clean for the most part and I have not had any bad encounters with anyone that works here.

Great customer service, clean facilities, and quite. Perfect hidden spot near my work to relax and read while on lunch break. The staff was great and explained the library system, I love that you can return items to other libraries. Comfortable chairs and temperature. Will definitely be coming back.

I love this library! Very quiet, friendly staff and I like that they will request an item from a different library to avoid you having to travel to a different location. The only negative thing I will say about it is some of the books are out of date. I went to try and gather information from a culture different than mine but could only find travel books which were really of no help. Besides that, good place to go.

Although this is an older, smaller library it fits my families needs quite well. They have a good supply of materials — everything from books to DVDs and they have a great set of Children’s Librarians. My kids like their story times and look forward to going to the library. Because it is a smaller library it is a little crowded in the summer and around story times.

I’ve been going to this library for decades now. Granted its definitely smaller than other branches but Clark County Libraries have a decent amount of DVDs and CDs, which is what I usually check out all the time. So I have a bad habit of requesting items from other libraries.
I would probably say the only thing that annoys me is self-​check-​out and I definitely do wait for my scanned items to turn green however I always seem to set off the alarm anyway. So then I’d have to go back up to the front/​info desk and get them rechecked out again. At times that can be a total time waster especially when there is a line.

I grew up in this neighborhood so Sunrise Library has always been my go-​to library. What’s nice about the Clark County library system is that if your home library doesn’t have the book you’re looking for (which is about seven times out of ten for Sunrise) you can request it online and it’ll be delivered to your home library when it’s available. At Sunrise, when your book has arrived, you can get it off the hold-​shelf yourself and the check-​out process is now all self-​serve and electronic. I’m pretty sure it’s like that at all Clark COunty libraries now, but really loving this feature at Sunrise because their staff is small (but friendly for the most part) and the line could get pretty backed up. Staff is available for those who aren’t self-​sufficient or are technologically challenged.
This is a very child-​friendly library with a great children’s and young adult section and they often have small group activities and show children’s movies here. Schedules can be found online and you can get on the mailing list to get a quarterly newsletter/​events calendar for all Clark County events, book clubs, etc. There’s also a small art gallery that changes, I believe, quarterly. Nothing’s ever struck my interest, however if you’re in the area and looking to check out some art, you can pop by Sunrise and take a look at the spread there.
You can’t control the patrons of the establishments you go to, so my only comments on this are, look at the neighborhood, assess and have your mind right and ready when you go here because there are some characters whether they be obnoxious high schoolers there to do anything but check out books and/​or study or the elderly man who can’t figure out the self-​checkout process and verbally assaults the staff member trying to assist him.
Overall, a decent library with a moderate selection with nice staff and has finally caught up to the 21^st with modern check out processes.
