Green Valley Library

FAIL FAIL FAIL … Drove all the way over here and the computers don’t work. Computer lab is unavailable and there is no wifi. Fix this now

EXCELLENT drop in story time on Saturdays. I can’t wait to try the other children’s programs they have set up on Tuesdays.
My 3 year old and I look forward to stories and songs and crafts for FREE. So happy to have found a library so close by.

I really like this location. They have a great selection of audiobooks, including a lot of new CDs. The service desk is always really friendly, and super efficient.
If you forget your library card, and have to key the number manually, the computer screen is a bit tempermental. So I recommend not forgetting your card :)
The main downside to this location is their hours. They are closed Sunday and Monday both.

Let’s be honest.. .I’ve never met a place full of books that I didn’t like. This was an easy 5 star rating for me. I haven’t been to any of the other locations that make up the «Henderson Libraries,» but sticking with the Green Valley location would be fine by me.
This is the second time I visited, with the first time being when I signed up for my library card. The sign up process was fairly simple.. .I just had to sit down at a computer and fill in some basic information (name, address, email, etc.) and then show proof of ID to obtain my card. I don’t have a Nevada license yet.. .so be sure to bring a proof of residence if this is your case too.
I really haven’t found any negatives about this library so far, so here are just a few things I love about it:
–Self check-​out style. This is awesome! You just go up to the little computer check out center and check your books out yourself. There is detailed instructions on what to do, but it really isn’t hard to figure out. I’m not sure if all libraries have implemented this process, but they definitely should.
–35 item rental limit. I would never need to check out 35 items, but I really like the fact that this number is so high!
— Drive up dropbox. The drive up drop box makes returning items so much easier!
— Long check out times. I don’t remember the exact amount of time they allow for check out, but it’s around 3 – 4 weeks which is great! Plenty of time to read your books or watch your movies without feeling rushed.
So glad I got a {free!} library card and I will definitely be a constant presence in this library!

My favorite of all the henderson libraries! I love the staff especially Andrea from the kids section :) I love all the different programs they offer like lil yogis and bi-​lingual story time. Such a great selection of foreign language books for children. Its also in a great location, I usually like to run errands in that area as well whenever I take my little ones to one of the programs.

Adult computer classes, children’s programing, movies, CD’s, books! Free. What’s not to like. Staff is helpful and usually a pretty quite place. They do sometimes have programs that spill out into library but have to love the community participating so a little noise isn’t going to hurt anyone.

This one is bigger than Gibson library. Has more selection of things. Next adventure is Paseo…

5 STARS FOR THE WEEKLY CLASS THEY OFFERED AND FOR THE CHILDREN’S SECTION. 3 stars for the rest. I first want to say what a beatiful library. My daughter attended a weekly program on Gold for the children. The instructor made learning about gold really fun. The teacher even had then pan for gold as well. My daughter and her friends had a great time and I personally as a Mom was very impressed with the classes offered for children in the local libraries. The Children’s book area was very clean and had a great selection of books to choose. The librarian was approachable for the kids and really got them exciting about reading and being apart of their summer reading program. What I didn’t like — lack of seating while our children were in the class. We walked around and around trying to find an area to sit when we stumbled to this great little lounge area with cool tall table and chairs. We sat here and talked when we were approached by a very rude employee telling us we could not be in there since we were not a teenager. She was young herself and maybe she will learn how to handle things but she was just plain rude. She could have explained to us why we really coudn’t be in there. We went to the librarian in the children’s area and she explained it is that if the teenagers saw adults in there they wouldn’t go in there. Please add more seating around the library. I will not try to have this ruin it from me going back but I have a hard time with rude people. So, point is they have assigned seating. If you are going to the children’s area and enrolling your child in a class — you will NOT be disapointed.

It’s smaller than Paseo, but it has just enough computers to use, just as many movies, books and CDs. It does have more events here for all kinds of groups.
It’s tidy, the staff is super helpful and self check out!

Big library fan — I swear I am. So, it is not easy for me to go under 5 stars, Guys, you gotta get some tables. In addition to a brain, training, and lots of patience, a table is an essential ingredient in tutoring. And, if it is not too much, some plugs for laptops. i am old enough to remember when this library was built and I know it was before technology was as big as it is now. Still, some tables and some plugs and I’m a happy girl.

I live on the East side of Las Vegas and although there are Clark County Las Vegas libraries closer to where I live I prefer to go here to study and get some school work done. It’s not the biggest library out there and I agree the collection is not as big as LVCCLD but this library is a great alternative if you want to avoid the craziness of a bigger library.

This library was recently bought by the Henderson Library District and renovated, for the better in most ways. They added a computer lab, which was definitely needed. They added some couches in the front, and while their collection is a little smaller than LVCCLD’s was, I think it fits the building better.

Even though this library seems smaller and smaller everytime I visit (or maybe I just get bigger and bigger, but I refuse to believe that), it still is a beautiful library and a great way to spend an afternoon. The kids section comes fully stocked with great story books and bean bag chairs all around. I like to grab my book from the «big girl» side, and then hang in the little tyke section… much cozier. The GV library is also a nice place for UNLV students to study without all of the chaos of Lied Library. They offer a nice reference section as well. My only compaint is the lack of computer space and actual computers to use. It is a smaller library, I know, but still, a few more computers would make a world of difference. So my suggestion is to bring your own laptop. And longer hours of operation would be nice too… but I am still thankful to have a library in this area!
