The 10 Best Libraries in Colorado, United States

April 1, 2022 Janette Largent

Colorado is home to no less than twenty-six ski resorts such as those in Vail and Breckenridge; other winter activities include snowboarding, sledding, sleigh rides, snow hiking and snowmobiling. The state is blessed with national parks, grasslands and forests where in warmer weather you can enjoy hiking, mountain biking or rock climbing. Wildlife abounds, from bears to moose and raccoons to wolverines. More interested in local history? Head for either the Ute Indian Museum or the Koshare Indian Museum, and don't miss the forts such as Fort Garland and Bent's Old Fort. For a complete change, why not take a ride in a hot air balloon from South Park Valley or Boulder and admire Colorado's picturesque landscape from above?

The librarians are super friendly and helpful. Building is just gorgeous. Small selection of books on hand, but extensive connections to other libraries, they can get any book you need. Kids section is stunningly lovely and well stocked. My daughter always finds a new series to get into.

Known as the Roosevelt Window, it was originally in the Presbyterian Church at the corner of 4th and Whiteriver.

Carbondale Branch Library

Reviewed By CarolSheehy

The help is very nice and I was surprised at how many resources they had for a small town. The only piece that is challenging, is that kids come at the start of the shift and play games until it closes, so it is hard to use the computers.
