Alamosa Library

This library is one element in a larger community center area. There are outdoor sports fields, day care, a medical center, and a gym all nestled together. I can see how these facilities are an awesome resource for the surrounding community! I only utilized the library, but it was quaint, bilingual, and seemed to have all the standard amenities. Plus the whole area was really well groomed and attractive, so that’s always a bonus! If you live on this side of town, you should definitely take advantage of the services they offer.

This was my first time at this location and we will be going back. The library is connected to a bunch of family service offices (medical, GED, Family and Youth, gym, etc). (Blake (?) and Old Coors area).
I went to the 10:15 story– time. I thought the librarian did a good job of engaging the 30 (or so) children with songs, fingerplays and 3 fun picture books. The story area was tucked away with a carpet area and benches for comfortable parent seating. There was a moderate selection of children’s books and a few tables and computers for children to use. I was disappointed to find out that the stroy-​time ends next week (end of May) and will not resume until the fall. However, after looking at their calendar, I was pleased to see they have several events, activities, crafts, etc planned for the summer.
I didn’t spend much time looking in other areas of the library. I was able to easily obtain a temporary library card and check out book with a self check-​out system. I will look into accessing e-​books (the librarian assured me it was very easy).
