| - Reviewing a library? Sure, why not...
This library is the largest and most central library of the Clark County Library district. It's also close to UNLV and where I live. So it goes without saying that if I need the library services (which I do, often), this is where I go. But even though it's the biggest and most convenient, I think that I'd probably go here anyway.
If you're a visitor to Las Vegas and in need to use the internet, there's plenty of space and bandwidth available. Even on the fullest of days, there's a stable connection that you can easily connect to using your laptop or smart phone. No need for a library card to use the wireless here. No bandwidth restrictions (throttling). And no barista or waitress breathing down your neck to buy something or get out.
At this facility, they have a full size auditorium. Here, many jazz ensembles, book signings, and other local performances occur. It's in this auditorium where you can also watch classic cinema films and a monthly "new" release for free. The new releases are usually movies that just went to DVD. The state-of-the-art sound system give you the opportunity to watch these movies on the big screen one last time. And it doesn't cost you a cent. The only down part is that they do not allow food or drink in the auditorium. So sadly, you won't get the full cinema experience.
The library system itself is very adequate. If you have a library card, you can search for DVD movies, music, and books to put on hold where they will deliver to the location of choice. This doesn't matter if it comes from Laughlin or Moapa (both in the library district). If it's in stock and there's no other holds on the item, it'll be there in about two days. If it is not in stock or there are others who have it on hold, you will be put on the list.
The DVD and music catalog is usually kept up to date with new releases acquired frequently. With an ample 7 DVD, 20 CD, and 50 overall item limit to checkout this leaves alot of opportunity to check out just about anything you want. High demand or new DVDs are loaned out on a weekly basis with no consecutive renewals. Everything else is a three week loan period. Overdue fees are $.25 per day late
My $.02 Cents:
5 Stars - Great facility, great selection of books, DVDs, and CDs, free internet, theater.
Minus 1 Star - No food in theater, limit 20 items on holds.
