Enterprise Library

One of my favorite places to go! I bring my three-​year-​old grandson here on Tuesday Mornings for Story Hour. It is wonderful! Plus they have a very good selection of books, movies, audio books, and a cute little store.

I’ve been to this library a handful of times and unfortunately, I always leave annoyed. Every time I look for a book or a movie, I can never find anything. The movies are in «alphabetical order» but really, they’re just thrown back on the shelf near other movies with the same beginning letter… same with the books, but not as bad.
Also, I put a book on hold awhile back, went in a couple days later because the website said that the book was available but I couldn’t find it in the hold section or where it would be normally. I even asked an employee for help and he just looked up the book on his computer, wrote down where it would be and sent me off. He was absolutely no help and what he «helped» me with was what I did at the computers before I asked him. He also wasn’t the nicest.
I don’t think I’ll be going back there anymore. I’d rather drive to a further library than go back and leave annoyed again.

This library is pretty great! The staff is amazingly nice and there’s a good selection of books, however, the computer volume is pretty low and it’s hard to get one usually!

Very angry at this point. Took my college student dropped her off and she just needed to print a report for school. She usually got a quick temp pass to print if needed. Today we were told by the man there… If your not under 18 or out of state you CANT use the library to print. GO HOME and get your ID and come back.
Really??? Isn’t the library a county service? So what they’re saying is if you don’t have an ID or don’t want to fill out their application, you can sit and look at books and newspapers, but nothing else. Cant wait until the next meeting for funding! Im surprised they can do that and I will make calls on Monday to find out why thus is the rule. You cant tell me hundreds of people come in daily for passes, do they???

Kinda was disappointed. Every book I asked for was not in their library. They said the would contact me when my book was available never heard from them. The sections are real small.

This is a great local library in paradise that has a few really helpful librarians. I have been in their a few times with no ideas on which books to get or where to go and they always point me in the right direction. I have gotten a few books on CD which is great for road trips since you don’t need to buy them since its the library! Their selection of books on CD is large and if they don’t have what you’re looking for there they may at another location and can have it delivered. I did this once with a book on CD by John grisham and it worked out perfectly. It’s a little tucked away right off las Vegas Blvd so keep and eye out.

I support my local library! And will continue to do so until it’s completely obsolete.
Their hours are mostly convenient and so is the location. I get quite a few new releases relatively quickly from here. Since I use the self checkout, I have little experience with staff helping me here, but do notice security is present all the time.
That is standard for public places such as this! The library and restroom are clean and so is the parking lot.

Internet is super fast! way better then starbucks, quiet, tons of free movies… this is always my go to spot to study!

Great kid area in a separate area so they don’t bother the adults. My kids had a good time playing with the puzzles and picking out some good books to bring home. Getting a library card was quick and painless– just need a photo ID. Self check out is super easy, and the staff is incredibly nice. This library is pretty small compared to others I’m used to, but adequate.

easy to maneuver through this library. the staff is friendly. well kept.
las vegas libraries are pretty state of the art and current with using the Internet for just about everything. &! your library card is more than a library card. it now holds acct information! don’t know how I feel about that… but you can load it with $ too.
Positives: you can always go online and check the status of due dates, books/DvD/cd’s on hold, etc.
their are like 6 computers to do book searches. [very impersonal this table
of computers. their placed so close together. ] not sure if there are any other comps… maybe in the children’s section.
*children’s and teen section are separate. *large selections of recommended books [like when you’re in line at the grocery store and you have to look at the candy…]
*DVDs and music. and a study area with desks in the back.
plenty of computers for Internet use. It’s in its own room, so there’s privacy from the rest of the library. not sure if you have to pay, but I don’t think so.
they have a way cool self serve area where you place your books on top of a scanner and it magically scans all the books. you also get a printed receipt with a list of books you have, and the due dates. this magical
machine is also a late fine pay station.
verrrrry coooool…
their are drive thru return boxes if you can’t make it before closing time.
best to bring your own bag.

This a great library to go to. It has a nice selection of movies and books. It also has an above average size children’s book and DVD area. Furthermore, in the children’s area there are about 3 – 4 tables or so where kids can play with puzzles and kids games or they can just read one of there favorite books. Lastly, they have a variety of children’s programs including story time so be sure to check their calendars.
Overall, this library is nice and clean and I come here often. I’m sure other libraries are just as nice but just prefer this one due to its proximity. If you would like to go to a really impressive library with a huge selection try visiting Clark County Library. It is near majors Flamingo and Maryland Pkwy.
PS. If there is really something in particular that your looking for just put yourself on the wait list and when it comes in you will receive an email for you to come in and pick it up.

This is the closest library to us. Always have been able to find what I am looking for and on the few occasions they didn’t have it, it was easy to get and have sent here. Hubby likes that the movie selection is decent and has never had a problem finding a free movie to watch

This is the closest Vegas library to me and I love it! It’s not big, but it has everything I need and more!
RSVP to get a computer online before you get there as they only have 7 of them (not counting the kids ones). They have study rooms you can reserve or ask for one at their help desk. They also have cubicles in the back.
There’s a lot of activities and events for everyone; my sister takes the girl she babysits (age 5) to events like storytime, crafts for holidays and parties.
If you ever need a book, it doesn’t hurt to check their paperbacks; there’s not many but it’s how I managed to get my hands on Mira Grant’s Feed Trilogy without waiting on hold for it!
The staff is helpful and quick about getting issues fixed and helping you find what you’re looking for.

I was doing some cleaning at home and found my library card that I had not used in over five years. Back when I was unemployed and had a lot of free time, I would come here to check out DVDs, CD’s, and books.
Well, since finding my library card, I decided to come back to renew my card and check out a few DVDs for shows like Boardwalk Empire and Homeland. I hate spending money on DVDs that I can’t get from Redbox and will only watch once so I am so glad the library offers this. I also like browsing through their CD’s, and I will usually look through their jazz collection, or for music that I wouldn’t normally spend money on, but do enjoy listening to once in a while.
I’ve noticed some of the same staff members have been here for years, and they’re always so nice and helpful.
I believe the library offers free wifi so definitely a good alternative to coffee shops. Checking out items and returning are all self-​serve so there’s no need to wait in the customer service line unless you have dues to pay or buying used books from their little bookshop.
One thing that I like to do to save time is to go online to their website and look for things that might interest me, and I request to have it put on hold. When it’s ready for pick-​up, an email will be sent to notify me of the status.

As I take the Unilocal 100 Challenge, I am challenging myself to read one book a week. This is a reasonable challenge. I am a book lover. In 1985, when I read Ray Coleman’s «Lennon», it planted the seed of a lifelong reading habit. To this day, I am usually in the company of a book. My genre is the biography-​preferably musicians, actors, and winners.
Books are nutricion for the mind and food for the soul. Books are knowledge. Knowledge is power! A good book is entertaining and enlightening. A good book lifts my mind to an elevated place where I feel like the Baron of Cloud 9.
Las Vegas is a suitable metropolitan area for book lovers. There are more Las Vegas Library District branches scattered throughout the area than there are Station Casinos. The southernmost branch is Enterprise Library. It is a branch that is convenient to my Henderson apartment.
Enterprise Library is small. It ain’t a New York Public Library, Seattle Public Library, or Sahara West Library. When you walk in, there is a hall to the right. That hall connects to a conference room. There are some interesting Las Vegas pictures. The majority of the action is straight. There are two stations for information. The books are toward the back of the room. To the left are couches, reference books, and magazines. When I started visiting the Enterprise Libary, this was a large biography section. Walking further into the library, the computer room is on the right. This is where I have gone when I do my online taxes. The computer room of today is controlled by your library card. To the far left are cubicles and study rooms. Just past the computer room is the CD racks. I have downloaded many of the all time best classic rock albums from here. At the border of the general bookshelves are DVDs (I believe music is still by the music books), large print books, and new releases. There are about ten aisles of bookshelves before the room dead ends at a few large tables overlooking the rancher style homes of Enterprise.
Enterprise Library might be small in size. However it is large in substance. I view libraries as buildings to check out books that bring your mind on an adventure. When I checkout a book at Enterprise Library, my mind feels like a jet taking off from McCarran toward Cloud 9. The books that I have checked out from Enterprise Library have taken my mind on incredible adventures. Adventures that include Elvis jamming with the Beatles in the Hollywood Hills, the Stones recording Exile On Main Street in Necote, self help advice from Mayor Giuliani, and Howard Hughs in the late 1960s controlling his Las Vegas empire from his Desert Inn hotel room.
There is a misconception that book lovers are geeks. However when I am feeling like the Baron of Cloud 9 everything else is irrelevant.
The Unilocal 100 Challenge Review 35 of 100.

The Enterprise library is very clean and very organized. ITs a library, I do not expect anything less from them. They have a wide selection of material along with an entire half of the building dedicated to children and a big reading room dedicated to teens. I went there for the first time to get a library card and the process to sign up was extremely easy. Go to a computer, type your info in, hit send and proceed to the counter to get your card. The staff is very friendly and helped me locate the books I was looking for. Checkout process is fast and easy! You place your books on the lighted up square and the computer can read all the books you have stacked up. Fantastic!

First off, I love the Las Vegas library system and it’s one of the advantages of living in this city. I recently visited this location and I have to say it’s the smallest library with the narrowest selection of all the libraries in town. I hope they expand it.
However, it was a big day for my toddler who got her first library card and stayed for story time which she adored. It was endearing to watch her pick out the books she wanted to check out and the librarian and my teen explaining how the library works. She loves books and thanks to «Your baby can read» she can read already so that’s a bonus.
Seems like this end of town gets less effort than other parts, I hope that changes.

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.

I adore this library.
Lots of books, private rooms for studying (reservation, only), free wi-​fi, large children’s section, huge selection of DVDs one can borrow, a well-​priced selection of secondhand books available for purchase in a small library bookshop, community activities, a small (changing) art gallery — and friendly staff members.
I love this library.

Certainly not the nicest or largest library in town, but it just happens to be the closest to my house. I needed to do some studying this week. Realizing that there were too many distractions at home, I headed for Enterprise. I like the fact that they had ample study rooms available for me to get in some alone time. That might be a different story when schools are in, but noteworthy nonetheless.
As I was researching a good library to go to, I discovered that they all seem to have the same hours. So that’s not a deciding factor at all. And when it comes to borrowing, you can order anything within the system and have it moved and ready for pickup at your local library, so that’s not a deciding factor either. They also all have the new automated checkout and return system. Great convenience.
In photography, the best camera is the one you have with you. Similarly, the best library is the one you actually go to. If Enterprise is near you, I see no reason why it wouldn’t be your go-​to location.
