Anythink Wright Farms

This library is the best library I’ve ever been to! I want to live in this library. So clean and cute with a great little café and a healthy options vending machine. Great selection of books, audiobooks, and movies. Staff is very friendly and helpful. My favorite place in Thornton!

This is a great library for the kids. Clean, new, and full of resources for the kids.

Amazing library. We are there several times per week. Great programs, friendly staff and a hold system that works like a charm. Also, the building is gorgeous and we love the outdoor play area.

LOVE this library! So many other reviewers have already covered so many of the great things about this place. It’s modern, it’s clean, it has a coffee bar — it’s like going to Barnes and Noble without having to pay for the books.
My tween son gets together with his friends in the «youth zone» and they lounge on the oversized chairs and look at tech magazines together, planning to build their own androids someday. My younger daughter likes to look through the DVD collection and pick out audio books for her afternoon quiet time.
My husband and I love to pick a table at the coffee bar and look through our books while waiting for the kids to finish up. There’s also a great outdoor area that’s great for relaxing in with a good book if your kids or spouse are attending a class you’re not interested in.
A couple people have noted there is more noise than more traditional libraries. I would say it’s comparable to being at a Barnes and Noble. Most people shush their kids or take them outside, so it’s like being in any other public space.
I visit the library about every 2 weeks and I’ve never experienced it being rowdy. But this is a library that has a killer kids area and a dedicated youth zone, so you have to expect an occasional tantrum or the sound of teens laughing together. There’s also a coffee shop near the front desk, so there are conversations happening. If you really want a quiet place to study, I’d recommend checking out your books and taking them home. If you’re a true misanthrope, you can order your books online from the comfort of your home, you get an email when they have been reserved for you at the library, and you only have to go into the library to pick them up.
If you want to find a good book, have coffee with a friend, or have a family outing that really is catered to everyone, I highly recommend this library. This place is awesome!

Wonderful neighborhood library. Very inviting. Awesome staff always willing to go the extra mile to get the book you want. Did you know if they don’t carry the book they will borrower to get it for you or they will buy it. Love that! Also you can return your books to any Anythink library… So convenient. You can download books from their site too.

Coolest library ever! So clean and beautifully designed inside and out. Plus they have a coffee bar with allegro coffee. We’ll definitely be regulars here soon.

It don’t get no betta! One thing that always bothered me about public libraries is that most don’t allow food. This means you can only stay there as long as your stomach can withstand negative sustenance OR sneak in some type of food and try to eat it quietly and not get yelled at. This library, on the other hand, actually sells food, snacks, and coffee. Bravo. Even though this location opened 3 years ago, you’d guess it opened last month. Very clean and new with lots of space including an outdoor seating area. Staff is super friendly, too.

This library is one of the best ones that I have ever been to. They have a regular area, kids area, teen hang out space, quiet rooms and a quiet area and also an amazing outdoor space where you can sit and read and enjoy the fresh air. They have a great community garden that just opened this year too, 27 or so plots that are all cared for by community gardeners. A compost bin and a plan to get bee hives. Such a great way for the community to come together.
There are lots of study rooms and group meeting rooms. There are also chairs all over the place that you can just park yourself and read a good book.
If you need a snack they have an awesome little snack area where you can grab a drink or a sandwich, brownie, cookie, etc. Help support your local libraries!

LOVE!!!
Plenty of space to work, or to curl up with a good read.
My teen loves to come here to study. In fact, they have a huge teens-​only area which is getting a makeover with a new digital media studio.
They have awesome FREE classes and resources, like the genealogy series they offer every year and yoga on the weekends.
The staff is always friendly and helpful!
Plus, they’re supporters of National Novel Writing Month!!!
Hoping the coffee shop reopens soon. I saw they’re looking for a barista, so hopefully not too much longer.

LOVE LOVE LOVE Anythink! This library group is AMAZING! They understand how technology has changed the landscape for students and library patrons and have managed to keep up! They have computers, different sections of the library (kids, quiet, games) and they have coffee available in the mornings!
I guarantee if they made the coffee shop fully functional with business hours to mirror the library, it would be PACKED all the time!
I love to go here to study!

I voted for the new library system a few years back and couldn’t be happier. This library is open and airy with a great selection of books, DVDs and computers. There is even a café, although it had to close due to the caterer leaving. They plan to reopen it. I love the fact I can go online hold a DVD and it comes from any branch in the system to my branch for pickup. The children’s section is amazing too. Nice newspaper reading area. Staff is always helpful.

This was my first time visiting an Anythink library and I have to say I am a fan. I typically use libraries for their meeting rooms and quite reading/​working spaces. This place does not disappoint. Tons a great quiet and comfortable sitting areas that are perfect for kicking back and reading or plugging in my computer and getting some work down with the help of the free wifi. They also have a huge selection of books and the children’s section was especially impressive. If you need a snack or a coffee break they also have a snack bar with various coffee treats. Overall a great library experience.
