Livablity.com and mommynearest.com named LCLS as one of the top ten children's libraries in the United States. Employees and volunteers are often recognized with regional and national awards.

In 2021, voters passed a specific purpose tax to replace the 16-year-old vehicle currently in use and it is estimated that a new vehicle will be acquired by FY2025. Other major projects in the next two years include adding a home visit specialist to the First Steps outreach program, installing interactive reading readiness interactives in the library in Cheyenne and in businesses in the community, coordinating another StoryWalk® installation, and managing an increase in funding for events from a major bequest.
