Boulder Public Library District - Main Library - Boulder, Colorado

I recently visited the Boulder Public Library and was thoroughly impressed with the environment. The space is well-organized, clean, and provides a peaceful atmosphere for reading or working. The staff are very friendly and helpful, always ready to assist with any questions. The large windows offer beautiful views of the surroundings, adding to the pleasant experience. This library is a great resource for the community, and I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a quiet and welcoming space to read, study, or explore new knowledge.

This library is a community place and it feels good to be there. And in that regard you meet and interact with a wide variety of people

The building is great, a lot of windows, a lot of light. It is also very voluminous, so you don't feel trap. It is also easy to navigate between the two levels. Also, it is very well located and the parking is free for the first 90 minutes which is pretty generous. It is very close to Pearl Street where you can go have a drink or shop.

One cool thing the Library provide is the access to two study room that you can rent for 2 hour block at a time. Try to book it a few days early because slots can go very fast.

The staff is cool and very helpful and passionate.

Most of the people you will meet are the students. Looking for books downstairs, studying upstairs or hang out outside. The other big population around is the house less people. When the weather is cold, it can be challenging to find a spot to study, to read a magazine or to use a computer.
But as I said earlier, it is a community spot and everybody is welcomed.

The main branch of the Boulder Public Library is really special, and worth visiting even if you are merely visiting Boulder. It is truly a community center - meeting rooms for events, plenty of public resources, and one of the coolest makerspaces around (BLDG 61).

The cafe over the creek is a charming place to read a chapter or two with a cup of tea. Library staff are balanced, reasonable and helpful to patrons.

Recent challenges have been admirably overcome.

Do not skip the gallery! Very cool artwork.

This is a place designed to appeal to the sensibilities of white liberal voters while denying basic human rights to the most vulnerable members of the community. The staff does their best but an recalcitrant administration makes their jobs more difficult than necessary. They are addicted to appealing to an imaginary "middle ground" and in the process offer their services to noone. Embarrassing

Great public library with a great kids section, art gallery, playground, by the creek. Staff were excellent and doing their best. Thank you

Absolutely beautiful library and grounds. It amazes me that people give the Library a bad rating for homeless people Number one, how heartless can you be to complain about people who literally have nowhere to go? Number two, the library did not make them homeless nor does it put them there. Number three, it's a societal and state problem that we have so many homeless people. Our govt is sending trillions to unworthy sources while their own people starve and live on the streets. Take your voices where they belong!! Helping people off the street!! Complaining where they go doesn't stop the source of the problem. Nor does giving a public library a bad review help anyone.

I really enjoyed this public library and what it has to offer. I'm new to the area and needed a place to work and the library offered everything I needed and more. It's true that paying for parking and only being able to park for 3 hrs is a hassle but ypu can park for free on 9th Street if you find a spot. Only a few feet from the library. In the library you will find a cafe with very friendly employees serving great coffee and food. You have the views of the mountains and the river that actually runs under the library and off course all the books you will ever need to read.

I was able to walk in and reserve a meeting room for an hour, without even having a boulder county library card. This place is sprawling, open, and full of cool stuff that expands beyond books. Makerspace for the win!!
