| - When I first moved to Las Vegas in 2004, one of the first things I obtained was a library card at this location. Near my house, it's been somewhat of a refuge for me when I need to study and was too lazy to drive twenty miles to UNLV. It's not modern and grand like the Lied Library or as polished and fresh as the Windmill Library, but Enterprise offers a lot resources in a small space. For example: Study rooms (you must reserve to use it), plenty of open tables, a wide selection movies and music to rent, a (compact) computer lab, and a children's and young adult's section. Additionally, there's a small art gallery, a room devoted for books on sale (cheap!), and a community auditorium.
Self-checkout and return is so simple and fast, I saw children use it like pros. The Clark County Library sends a courteous e-mail when your library materials are almost due. The staff is helpful and kind; when I had difficulty finding a book they directed me to the correct location. In a town redundant with Spanish tile houses, flashy buildings and obnoxious billboards, the old-school brick exterior is refreshingly pleasing to the eye. However, there are a few complaints: the book selection is limited, the fluorescent white lights and cacophony of patrons yapping can be encumbering when studying. So if you plan to cram for an exam, reserve a study room and bring headphones. Those faults are minor and don't deter me from visiting. One of the few libraries in the south side of town, it's presence is vital and I'm grateful for it.
