A nice library, not very big but they make up for it in effort. The staff are helpful and courteous. There are some pretty good facilities, childrens section, a computer section, magazines, DVDs, and lots of books. The selection isn’t as big as the one at Green Valley though. The building looks kind of dark and unwelcoming, to be honest.
The best thing to do is to go in (or any other library), get a library card, then go to
sign up and search, order and hold books from there. They will transfer the books from the other libraries to you so you just have to pick it up from there. It takes about a week for the books to be transferred, and they also hold the books for another week. You can also renew books online.

The Gibson Library is a small one, but the service is big. The library staff are always patient to help you and very polite. I absolutely love the fact that they have a drive thru window. Who would’ve expected a library to have one! If you tell them you’re a regular drive-​thru patron, they will put your requests right at the window and lessen your wait. Talk about convenience! It’s perfect for those super hot days when I don’t want to get out of the car or when I have my little buddy with me!

Convenient location… drive through pickup/​drop off is a plus. Plenty of space to park. Helpful staff. Only thing that is lacking about this place is a coffee shop like the Paseo Verde library.

Lots of great books, little children’s area to play in. Staff is helpful if you are looking for a particular book. The library offers classes for toddlers throughout the month. My toddler loves parachute playtime. Children’s room is in a small room near the bathroom with no decorations or children’s material up. If you are late the door is locked, yikes!
Librarians are really sweet and personable with the toddlers. My daughter always wants to give them a hug when we leave. Great story time to go kits that are easy to access. Thanks for being such a great resource for the community.

3 words: DRIVE THRU WINDOW!
This is a great library and a vast improvement over the previous location just up the road on Water St. Yes, the New York Public Library it is NOT. However, I believe that it gets the job done and is very nice and not too small for the area.
There is a children’s are and a computer room. And a drive thru window! This is by far my favorite feature. You can reserve books via the county’s website and they will let you know when they are available for pick up. You then pull up to the drive thru and VOILA! You are given your books! You can return books this way as well. I am unsure why this excites me so much, but I just think it’s the best idea!

This is a really nice library that is part of the Henderson District. It is about a year and a half old. There is a section for children to play on the computers. On the weekends, the kids section is full, but has less traffic on the weekdays. There are story times both during the week and on the weekends. There are two study rooms that can be reserved in advance or asked for on the day if available. The staff is helpful and willing to show you want you are looking for. The drop off of books is a little high for a normal car. The location is right off of Boulder Highway.

This is a small library as is the parking lot.
A little to close to Boulder Highway for my liking. On my last visit a smelly tweeker was just sitting around in the back taking apart a cell phone. He was under the watchful eye of a security guard but I think if your are not going to read or take advantage of the libraries other services… GET OUT.
Despite being small they have had just about every book I have needed to get. But unlike other libraries where I can go and get lost for an hour just looking around, I go online and look, if JIGL has what I need then I will roll down there.

First time at the new Gibson public library location and it is beautiful!
There’s a computer room with about 20 – 30 computers to use.
Also they seem to have a lot more new books in. There’s also a small area near the entrance to buy used books, magazines, VHS, CDs, etc. Ranging from 10 cents to $ 1! I always find hidden gems in the sale area.
I’m glad they have a new location, the old one just seemed a bit unsafe and unsanitary. This is place feels like a place I could stay for hours on end! :)
P. S. There’s a drive thru window (not sure what it’s for) and drop bin for returning books.
