First time visiting here and headed upstairs to the archives nook. Incredible collection of African American books and it felt like walking into an ancestral treasure chest. The woman at the front desk was absolutely lovely and welcoming. Quiet atmosphere, beautiful view of the properties garden and park, and perfect space to study and research. 🙏🏾
Beautiful facility. We met for Tai Chi in their activities room. Restrooms were very clean and ready to find. Parking lot was large enough. Highly recommended.
Wow, I love this Library and location. I wish to share my gratitude to all staff that work here. "Especially, *Kathryn whom has assisted me with couple important activities over last three visits". Ask to speak with her if you are in need of photocopies an scanning of documents to pdf format....
Finally took a full visit. Library has 3 floors but I would say that's still on the smaller side based on what you can do here. First floor has the resource materials (books, computers, CDs, etc). Second floor is the research/reading room. They have a lot of good books in here that I wish you could check out. Also keep in mind this area is open from 12-4 and doesn't go by library hours. The third floor has an exhibit of five points history and black people accomplished accolades in Colorado or are from Colorado. They even have an area where they play a short film on five points history. Being a transplant I really enjoyed the exhibit and actually learned some things. I'm sure this is for a reason, but I wish they had more seating/working areas on not just the first floor. For me it was too many people and no room. But a great library to learn some black history. Check it out
As the title states, this is the African-American satellite of the Denver Public library system, and it is obvious since the minute you walk in!! it’s really beautiful how this library expresses and showcases the history of African-American culture throughout the decades and centuries and fully equipped with millions of resources for people to educate themselves on.
