Aurora Public Library- Tallyn’s Reach

This library is the closest to my home. I have been here a handful of times, but I prefer Smoky Hill library for their larger selection of adult books and big children’s area with all the toys. This library rivals Smoky Hill in the quantity of children’s books, though. I actually feel like Tallyns Reach has more children books for younger kids and definitely more board books. The adult audiobook section is also pretty large. As far as adult books, it’s a rather small selection, but not horrible. When we want a quiet library trip and are going mostly for children’s books, we come here. If we are looking more for an indoor playtime or adult books, Smoky Hill is better.

This library is on the corner next to the police/​fire station, so my husband and I joke that it’s the safest library around. They have a great kids section, and have a self-​scan for checkout (a personal favorite of mine). Quiet inside, and has a great parking lot.

Nice, quiet library near my house that it took me 3 years to go and visit and now that I’ve been I’ve come back 3 times in the past 2 weeks.
It’s been quiet the times I’ve been here. They have a huge selection of audiobooks and children’s books. The fiction section was nice, altho weirdly organized. Had to wander a bit to find what I was looking for.
Several internet workstations and easy self checkout, plus an online selection. Located right next to the police station (they literally share a front door), so don’t come to the library when you’re drunk!

Very nice library near Southlands. It is newer and very light & bright & looks new (although it has been here several years)!
The librarians are helpful and they have a fair selection of audio books (which is my thing), plus a decent selection of hardbacks. And like most modern library systems you can go online and rent lots of ebooks — delivered right to my iPhone :) Score!
All in all a nice spot to look for books, sit and read or soak up some free wifi!
Note: Book return is to the right as you walk in (or outside the door to the right, if you aren’t coming in). The self check out machines are to the left of the the main desk.

This place is nice. My aspiring actress daughter who also has a somewhat short attention span has been in a low cost acting workshop through the City of Aurora to make sure she wants to do this. The location for this series has been this library. Way out on the prairie, I expect to see Prairie Schooners rising up over the ponderosa pines, but then I see the Southlands and the many new housing developments.
Anyway, the librarians are super helpful despite being short-​staffed, everything is brand new. There are quiet little pockets to cozy into and hook up to the WiFi, including kick-​patootie chairs with swinging arms for your laptop. Library is attached to the police and fire departments for this area so whether that’s a drawback or a bonus, it’s up to you. Aurora Libraries have their act together — when I place a hold on something, it comes via email and quickly. I’d give them 5 stars if it weren’t so far away. Not their fault.. . but I prefer to not have a cattle drive in my backyard.
