Fairplay Library

I recently stopped in Fairplay to stretch my legs and get some lunch during my journey to Salida, and what a wonderful surprise to stumble upon this gem of a library! The experience begins even before entering the main building, as there's a garage next door filled with used books that are meticulously organized and priced very reasonably. This additional space shows the library's commitment to sharing literature beyond its main collection. The library itself is housed in a charming old building that adds character and a sense of history to your visit. Inside, the collection appears comprehensive and well-curated, offering everything one would need from a local library. The environment strikes that perfect balance of being welcoming while maintaining the peaceful atmosphere essential for

I love the Donation Deals garage!!! Best book selection! Cash donations of approximately (negotiable) $2 hardcover $1 paperback or the best deal is a paper bag full for $10 and a box full for $20. Go inside to have library open the garage door if the door is closed, but the library is open. Library staff is super helpful & friendly.

Wonderful! Not only did they have the exact book my kid needed last minute, the lady stayed after closing time and waited for me to get there. Love this library! So lucky we have this in our town.

Friendly staff with a wide selection of books and media to check out. Quiet areas for reading and a break room to grab a cup of coffee or tea. Computers work well and you can print from them for a reasonable price per page. There is also a copier in the reception area. And the wifi is fast and reliable!

Everything you could have & would imagined in an "old mining" town. I absolutely love it! The cozy spaces are the best part for me...nope, definitely the Ladies of this treasure trove!
