    Burton Barr Central Library - View of desks and interior on 4th floor

    Burton Barr Central Library

    love this place. not only is it expansive in literature, but the employees are absolutely…read morewonderful. everyone is so considerate and welcoming. this is the only library I would recommend for anyone.

    A library masterpiece. Every experience I've had here was excellent. Most recently I came for the…read moreSummer Solstice event (6/21/25) which was an architectural delight. There was live music, the architect spoke explaining the light and architecture at work for the special hour (12-1). It was beautiful and fascinating to witness. There was also a demonstration of the Washington Printing Press in the Rare Book Room with a special print that day created by library staff. There was also a limited tshirt that day at the Friends Bookstore with a print from the printing press designed by library staff. Every day here is a special day, but today was an extra special day. Staff is always ready to help, is friendly, and is very knowledgeable - whether it's Adult Services Staff, Youth Services Staff, Circulation Staff, or Municipal Security; everyone is here to help make your experience incredible. There's a first floor with an art gallery, the children's area, the adult fiction area, the checkout area, the accounts desk, the security desk, and the auditorium. The second floor has the computer, printing, faxing, copying, and scanning area, the business area, the arizona room, workforce area, and college depot. I loved the informative display cases on the second floor which held information on filming western movies in Arizona, about Burton Barr - their namesake, and about the architecture of the building. This was a very nice, informative touch. The third floor is administration and is not open to the public. This is where the magic of Phoenix Public Library is planned. This is where the PPL team orders and processes PPL materials, where staff plans programs, marketing, and more! The fourth floor is the teen room, the makerspace, and where the youth services staff plans programs. The fifth floor is the largest reading room in the nation, yes, larger than NYC Central Public Library's reading room! It's an impressive floor and my favorite with those beautiful North, and South views of Phoenix. This floor holds the adult non-fiction collection, and reference collection. Each floor has restrooms, look for signs. Can't find it? Ask the friendly staff at any service desk. Enjoy your visit at an architectural gem, a Phoenix Point of Pride, and at one of the best library's in the nation.

My 4th grader loves coming and hanging out in the castle playing with the LEGO tables and other stem toys. Very inviting and just outside is the splash pad and park. The adults section is huge with lots of seating, tables, and comfortable chairs to read on. They have a large 2 room Book Sale section where you can find books, magazines, puzzles and dvds for $1-$3. My favorite library in Arizona. Also there's a full service cafe inside the library. I ordered a coffee today. Very convenient!

    If you know me, you know I love checking out new libraries. I was in the Scottsdale area and…read moredecided to stop by Scottsdale Civic Center Library to get some work done, and I will definitely be back. One of the first things I noticed was how spacious the library feels. Everything looked clean and well maintained, which made it a really comfortable place to settle in and focus. There was actually already a line of people waiting outside for the library to open at 1 PM on Sunday, which says a lot about how popular it is. One feature I thought was especially cool is their seed library, where you can pick up seeds to plant your own plants at home. They also offer the usual cultural passes, which is always a great perk with a library card. Speaking of that, I really liked how unique their library card designs are. I was able to sign up for a card today thanks to a very helpful staff member who made the process quick and easy. Inside, there were plenty of tables and outlets almost everywhere, which made it perfect for getting work done. There is also a free charging center where you can charge devices. Parking was also simple. I parked at the Scottsdale Civic Center Garage, which made access really convenient. Overall, I was very happy with my visit today and will definitely be coming back.

    We are new to the Phoenix Library, with the Agave location being closest to us. It's a little…read moresmall, but more than makes up for it's size with it's offerings and the library staff is so kind and SO excited to share what they have going on. My elementary aged kids are big fans of their Wizards of STEAM program on Thursday afternoons, we like to stop in for that and pick up some books while we are there. The app is super useful for placing books on hold, you can place a hold on any book in the PHX library system and pick it up at your preferred location. We've also taken advantage of their cultural passes - they offer free admission for two to a variety of places in the Phoenix and Tucson area (Desert Botanical Gardens, Boyce Thompson Arboretum, PHX Museum of Art to name just a few). Last, but by far my favorite, is the ebook collection. I'm a huge reader and their ebook collection is one of the best I've experienced. I used to pay for an out of state Brooklyn Library card for access to their collection, but the Phoenix collection might be even better. Huge fan of libraries in general and PHX/Agave are top notch.

    We go here regularly for music class and recycling our daughter's reading list…read more I also take advantage of the books the library has when I can. I saw a book I wanted to read that was available while looking online and went for the one book. I got there and it wasn't on the shelf where it should be. I asked an employee who confirmed the same thing. She went to the back to check their intake. She came back saying she didn't know where the book is and that I can put a hold for it. This is a singular occurrence, but in frustration I would imagine with the technology used in libraries now for finding and coding books, that it would be relatively simple to find a book that is listed as available, but if I'm wrong then let me know.

    Even though I live in (south) Scottsdale I come to Tempe Public Library more than any other library…read morein the Phoenix area. 1) I take my mom here every few weeks because they have a large selection of large print books...more than Scottsdale (Civic Center) 2) It actually makes things more convenient that they don't have multiple branches. Whatever materials they have are all at one location. 3) From what I can tell it seems to be less busy/popular than other libraries in the Phoenix area and if you're trying to reserve materials you'll get them quicker here. Library is clean and pretty well organized. Parking is easy as well. I wish they were open maybe an hour later, but it's fine.

    This is a great library. I recently starting going to the library even though I've lived in Arizona…read morefor about 5 years now. The library location in Tempe is so much better than the downtown chandler library. The selection here is way bigger, and it's more teenager friendly. My son was able to get some good books he was interested in reading. In the downtown chandler location he couldn't find one book that peaked his interest. I got way more books than I expected. That's a good thing! I need to get back into reading. The employees here are so much more friendly, helpful and knowledgeable than the Chandler library. So safe to say I won't be back to the Chandler library. This library I will be a regular at even though it pretty far from em.
