In addition to being a public library, the Carnegie Library, Monte Vista Branch also offers many resources and services to the citizens of Monte Vista, including document copying, printing, scanning and faxing, proctoring online exams, reference materials, courtesy returns to other libraries and Inter-Library Loan borrowing. The library also holds a weekly story hour for young children. The Carnegie Public Library, Monte Vista Branch is one of the few original Carnegie Libraries that still exist in the United States today. Many of the Carnegie Libraries that have not been demolished are now used for other means. This makes the Carnegie Public Library, Monte Vista Branch very special. It is also on the Colorado State Historical Register and the National Historical Register.

The materials from the Carnegie Library South Fork Branch may also be returned to the Carnegie Library, Monte Vista Branch and vice versa. This makes book return easier for patrons of both libraries.  https://carnegiepubliclibraries.colorado.gov/
