I visit this library very often since I feel very comfortable using it and find the staff both very friendly and knowledgeable. However two days ago which happens to be 9/11 ( a date most of us will never forget I am sure), my brand new Samsung smartphone was stolen. At first I couldn't figure out how it happened but I was determined to really think try and memorize my exact moves when I last used it since this is the second cell phone that has been stolen from me in a month I need to help me not to have any more thefts. I remember I only moved from the newspaper reading area to the computer I was scheduled to use at 12:20 PM. This is what I recall happened: I was sitting by the table reading the Sunday Review since the male sitting on the other side of the table was reading the Monday Review that I really wanted. I waited patiently since it was a particular article I wanted to read but it seemed he was not about to give it up any time soon. I remember my phone rang and looked at it but of course declined the call. I also remember the male looking over and I now of course realize he was looking at my Samsung phone. At the same time I looked at the big clock ant noticed it' was 12:20 PM and unfortunately hurried to the computer reserved for me. I am not the type that constantly check my phone and it was not until I wanted to try and take a picture of a person I was asked to do on her online photo and I looked in my purse and couldn't find my phone. I looked over where I sat at the newspaper area and on the table although I knew I didn't put it there. I did notice the male that was reading the Monday Review was gone but at first didn't think much of it.I searched my purse once more and began to panic and also searched my "little luggage" I carry around although I never put my phone there so I gave up. It was not until several hours later that I knew that after declining my phone I never took the time to place it in the particular pocket in my purse once I noticed it was time for me to use the computer, it was on my lap and when I got up it simply fell on the floor and while an honest person would have said " you dropped your phone on the floor Ma'am" I sat next to a thief unfortunately. -- I have not seen him again and I am sure I will not because I would recognize him since I remember looking at him more than once while watching to see if he would give up the paper. Hopefully the gentleman that was using computer number 2 I believe, it could have been number 3 but I think it was 2 that day from probably 11AM and on is reading this because I noticed he left his Samsung phone by his computer for at least 10 minutes or more unattended. I was going to give his phone to the person that was in charge of the computer room at the time but then got distracted and forgot. Had the person that must have stolen my phone (he was the only person in the reading area at the time) noticed another Samsung I am sure he would have taken off with yet another Samsung phone. A thief is a thief. On 9/11 I can't believe you would allow yourself to sink that low!!! Shame on you!!! Don't come back here!! No library welcome thieves!!!

For a city famous for its obsession with all things cosmetic, for its complex & overwrought distractions, for its straight-faced worship of style over substance, Las Vegas is surrpsingly blessed with a solid, if somewhat young cultural undercurrent. While it's quite clear that it has yet to grow into full maturrity, the Clark County Library system is a perfect example of the quiet yet sturdy and strong intellectual/cultural life---SOME of us have to live here, after all. The West Charleston branch of the library is much like some of the of the other top notch branches in the city from the Windmill branch all the way to the Rainbow branch (located, oddly enough, on Buffalo). The staff is ever friendly, the book, CD, DVD, audiobook, ebook, etc. selection is quite large and varied, although my only complaint would be a lack of truly literary titles by legendary but somewhat lesser known luminaries like, say, Paul Bowles or Charles Baudelaire or Laurence Sterne, etc. That is truly my only complaint though. There is a large, spacious, clean area for reading and diving into work ona laptop or tablet. Its always quiet. It is, quite simply, everything a library should be.

I usually come in on Saturdays for story time and let my kids pick a few books for the week. The Saturday librarian is very nice and does the story time, today I came in on a Sunday and it’s a different librarian she’s not friendly and shushes the kids every 2 minutes. We’re on the children’s side, kids aren’t as quiet as adults. My child was playing in play area and talking to himself she went over and shushed him and thought I didn’t see. That really bothered me he wasn’t being loud just talking to himself and playing with the play food. She kept looking at kids who weren’t completely quiet. I won’t be coming back on Sunday’s I prefer the Saturday librarian she’s better with kids, and doesn’t make me as a parent feel ashamed of my kids who aren’t completely quiet. (They are 2&4 yr olds)

I’ve been going to this library for years and used to have such wonderful experiences here, but there’s a new receptionist that seems to have a very stand off-ish , repugnant like condescending demeanor with me & I strongly believe it’s because I’m black because I don’t even know this woman for her to act this way towards me but my experience here at this location is no longer enjoyable because of this. The man before her was sort of unfriendly & unwelcoming as well so I don’t know if it’s just the people they hire or if its racial but the demeanor towards me was very disheartening due to me actually loving this location.

  • Bhima Solberg

I am an instructor and needed some focus time. But not even 30 min into my supposed two hours of study room time, the attendant knocked and told me to get out rather rudly, he just assumed I had been there too long and needed to go. Only after I hurridly packed up all my books, laptop, and papers, an ad wentvto the desk and asked if I didn't understand something did he appolgize, too little too late, not sure if I will ever go back, I have never been treated like that at a libarary before...I got the feeling he just enjoyed the power he had...

  • Sharon Gonzalez

Clean, public friendly, family friendly, with informative staff and theres always a security guard there which makes you feel safe. Ofcourse there is a world of book selections and everything you go to look for in a library! It is sectioned off well with the kids and young adults on one side and the adults on the other. In the middle you can check out items yourself and also browse through the brochures or flyers they have of events going on at the library. Great place!

So I went here expecting to be able to print out my 3 years of income tax paperwork and the Acrobat reader kept spending so when I asked what was going on with the Acrobat reader they said it's not in their system but yet they have the application on the web if you don't have a program running in your library system then you should not have the app on your homepage I wasted 15 minutes of my time and the receptionist was very snotty

  • Kathleen Bell

I adore this library. It's clean and cool, has a small art gallery and follows all the guidelines for protection against any viral contact. It is easily accessible from Charleston Blvd. or Oakey. It shares the CCSN property. Great selection of books, printed and audio as well as a wide variety of video selections. The staff are all professional, cordial and happy to assist you. I see the world through my library.

  • Jianna K

It was my first time going to the Library in Nevada and I thought i'd go ahead and get a card bc I need to really get back into reading books. It was clean, had friendly service and well detailed on their answers when I asked questions. Long story short, I ended up renting 6 books and I am super . Thanks you guys! …

  • C Beez (Ciara Leigh)

I wish this place stayed open until 8 on the weekends! Came here to study, as I am taking online college classes. It's quiet, and has security that regularly walks the area which makes me feel safe being here alone. They have large tables and small, individual desks available. Good place to study and work on homework!

  • Donald Fitzsimons

What a beautiful library and the staff was so helpful. I explained that I was from out of town and they set me up with a 90 day card and showed me how to self check out and to renew a book online. What was also very helpful was being able to use my laptop with their free wifi. All in all a two thumbs up.

  • Claudia H. Blanton

very nice, clean place, with great staff, and a great selection of books. Love all of the extra programs that are available throughout the year. One of the nicer libraries I have been in. Oh, and there are some wild bunnies that hop around the building, which was cute and made my kids happy

Fantastic service and absolutely lovely people! Took my sister to get a library card and the young lady at the front was very friendly and helpful, also had a fantastic sense of humor. She made the process super easy and stress free, my only regret is I didn't get her name

  • Stephen Paul Dutcher (Dutch)

Honest and forthright, always willing to help with anything you need. Friendly and courteous. Security guard is friendly and helpful and also a Marine who served our country with distinction. Horaah! God bless our Country and those who served and those who serve.

  • Christian Stone

I am rating the auditorium at this library. I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of this venue. The seats are comfortable, layout and lighting are excellent, and the acoustics are great. Highly recommended for concerts of all types. And cheap to rent!!

  • Florin Siulea

Nice & quiet, totally different that Clark County Library which is, most of the time, busy. The security on site is very subdued, barely noticeable as it should be. I liked very much the hole atmosphere & the fact that you don't need to reserve a PC.

  • Derek Morrow

Although a bit smaller than most in the valley, you can still find plenty of resources. Cozy, but not the best for reading... unless your ideal habitat while attempting to read is an unrelenting cacophony of disrespectful co-vidiots and

  • Edward Snare

This library is okay but it has no filtered water. The temperature also seemed quite cool even though the temperature outside was also cool. The bathrooms are small. The one really redeeming Factor was that the study rooms were quiet.

This is a very clean and well-stocked library. There are multiple security guards and officers here to keep the premises safe. The noise level is very quiet and it smells decent. You can actually get work done and find a seat here.

Great location. There are plenty of places nearby to have lunch while visiting the library. The library is clean and spacious. They offer a 2 hour private room in case you need to study or want to keep your distance during COVID.

The library is open for all patron browsing and borrowing. Extra care is taken to protect everyone from the virus. Books and videos borrowed are put in 4 day quarantine after they are returned. No fines during this time.
