Better when it had a great Art space. For now, they do a decent job of getting better art than the other libraries. It is a grand space, but it feels a little on the hollow side. I like it most for the space it affords for larger art.
The bookstore is the biggest in the library system. Unfortunately, it is chock full of crap that apparently, the elderly read. They get to swipe a lot of the good books from everywhere and sell online, but these are not to be found here. Good place to peruse if you're already at the library, but not as a destination.
It does have one of those weird side entrances so many of the Las Vegas libraries has. More upscale than most. Decent for kids. Best for seniors.
