Jefferson County Public Library

We have checked out a number of jeffco libraries since moving here a year ago, and I finally feel like we have found our home library. We mainly go for the storytimes, and have loved being a part of these fun times with other moms and kiddos. Not only do they have opportunities to learn inside the walls of the library, but they also offer small activity packets to bring home and encourage further literacy. The head child’s librarian is wonderful, and you can tell she enjoys what she does. They’re so knowledgeable and caring, and aren’t the typical librarians who expect total silence. We love going there weekly!

I don’t get to this library often but normal haunt was under construction. I love the electronic check out and check in. The staff is very friendly and patient. Not being familiar with the layout of this particular library I didn’t know where everything was at and they was very pleasant and kind in directing me to where I needed to be.

Great place for readers of all ages. Story time for kids, book club for adults, community programs abound. Donate your old books to the Whale of a Book Sale to help support the library system. Several sales a year and the biggest one is in May.

The parking lot was a little weird (only one entrance and one exit, on completely different streets), but the Lakewood Library had just the books I needed. Stopped by on my lunch and was hardly even late coming back to work (whoops

This is the library I go to most. I’ve been coming here since I was a child, and it’s fun to bring my kids here. The librarian who sits by the kids area is nice, and if the kids try to answer a question, they can get stickers/​their hand stamped.
I like that you can reserve books and they’ll send you an email when they’re ready. All you have to do is find them on a shelf and check out. Checking out is easy. The computer says to put one item on the glass, but we’ve found you can do multiple items at once. You just have to be careful that you don’t accidentally check items out twice.
Lastly, the librarians will work with you. I took some books back late due to extenuating circumstances, and they waived the fees. That was a big relief, and so appreciated. I love this place and I will happily keep coming back!

I previously posted a review for this library on the Jefferson County Public Library page on Unilocal.This is the same library so I figured I would simply repost my previous review for those who access this page on Unilocal.
I have been going to this library my entire life and have always found it welcoming. The staff is very friendly and helpful. They are always trying new ways to bring new people into the library.
They feature a «Lucky Day» shelf where one can find popular, hard-​to-​find books and videos. Unlike other branches, this library keeps this shelf well stocked. Another of their new features is the «Blind Date» shelf. Here there are books wrapped in brightly colored paper and labeled with a brief description as to the type of book inside, but not the title or author. A great surprise for a bibliophile like myself.
Like many Jeffco libraries, this branch offers a variety of activities for children as well as book clubs for adults.

This Library has been updated last summer, i have never seen it before. Anyway, it’s nothing huge but definitely will find a lot of good books. They also have the same system of book hold through the internet, so you can pretty much get any book you are looking for, considering there is a fairly wide network of libraries in Jefferson County.
They also have a corner for kids, and they have toddler hours weekly where they tell stories.

I used to hate this library as it just feels… inaccessible. I wish this were a multi-​floor library as they have quite a selection and having it all on one floor makes it a little hard to navigate. Overall a great alternative to DPL if you’re not in the city.
