Nestled along the gentle flow of Gore Creek on the east side of Lionshead Village, the Vail Public Library is more than just a place for books—it’s a serene community hub. Step inside to enjoy a quiet afternoon in a cozy reading nook, or explore the scenic creekside trails that wind just behind the building. Families will also find plenty to enjoy, with children’s story times, craft sessions, and special events designed to spark curiosity and creativity.

A Resource for Both Locals & Visitors

While Vail residents benefit most from library cards—allowing them to check out books, DVDs, CDs, and more—the library welcomes visitors with open doors. With a collection of more than 50,000 physical items and access to over 260,000 digital resources (including eBooks, audiobooks, eMagazines, streaming video, and music), there’s something for every interest.

Even if you’re just visiting, you’re free to:

• Curl up by the fireplace with a good book.
• Settle into a quiet corner for an afternoon of reading.
• Take advantage of free Wi-Fi—perfect for digital nomads or anyone looking for a peaceful spot to work.

Programs & Events for All Ages

The Vail Public Library offers an exciting lineup of programs throughout the year. Popular events include:

• Live performances by local musicians.
• Author talks and book signings.
• Workshops with local artists, covering everything from painting to creative writing.
• Gardening classes, offering seasonal planting advice, composting tips, and sustainability insights.
• Technology workshops, including free computer classes and hands-on lessons with the library’s 3D printer.

Whether you’re a resident or a guest, these interactive sessions provide engaging ways to learn, connect, and create.

Blending Nature & Learning

One of the most unique aspects of the library is its connection to the outdoors. Just steps from the building, the Gore Creek trail offers a beautiful paved pathway, ideal for a relaxing stroll through the villages and across Vail’s iconic covered bridge.

Families visiting East Vail will also love Bighorn Park, home to the StoryWalk®, a creative outdoor exhibit that displays pages from a children’s book along a scenic path. With stories that change seasonally, it’s a fresh experience every time you visit.
