The staff is wonderful. When my toddler began to have a meltdown, one of the staff members helped me finish checking out our books so my 3rd grader could get his books and we could get out of the building fast! Little moments like that are gold for a single mom trying to do all the things

I figured it was about time I checked it out and I was very impressed. The first floor has adult collections, study rooms, meeting rooms, and quiet work areas. They even have a cafe to purchase drinks and snacks. The second floor is dedicated to children and families. They have a ton of children's books, computers, play spaces, and story time rooms. Staff is extremely friendly and helpful. I was told by getting a library card, I can check out passes that provide free admission to museums, gardens, and cultural attractions around Arizona. How cool! Will check out the cultural passes another time but did get the library card. They also offer a lot of free classes and programs for adults, teens and children such as book discussion groups, arts and crafts workshops, and story times. There's something for everyone here.

Staff is friendly and very helpful - took less than 5 minutes to get a library card. The children's and young adult areas are part of the first floor. You can check out their events calendar online to see when their story time events, movie nights, and other socializing events are. There's also a room where you can have access to a variety of supplies, whether it be different tools for an art project, a 3d printer, and much more. The second hand bookstore is also here. I'm not sure what the basement floor is used for on the daily but I've been to one of their book sales down there. Second floor has the computers for adults, more books, and a seed library.

But the kids are being taught to play or read quietly so it isn't a day care, it's a great learning environment. We have been to the library a lot this summer, I find new ideas all the time. They even have classes Study areas over looking water and nice group places. I wish it was something people knew more about, I try and tell everyone how nice it is. And all the events. I'll keep spreading the word.

Been an avid reader all of my life and I love this library branch…read more Taking part in their Summer Reading program for the first time this year. My wife did it last year and got me interested. It encourages readers of all ages to log the minutes they read over the summer and in turn you can earn prizes and even a free book for participating and reaching certain goals. It has been a lot of fun. We love our branch located in between Baseline and Guadalupe roads on Dobson. The workers there are so nice and friendly. Always greeted with a smile and very helpful in finding books or answering questions from the public (aka us readers). One of my favorite parts of the library is the Restoried section where you can pick up pre-read books at a discounted price. Better than a yard sale. Definitely stop into the branch and check out some books - literally.

If there are a lot of kids it can get a little hectic, and the toddler toy area has outdated and sort of old/dirty toys, but there's a cool outdoor playground with misters and tons of shelving and seating. Overall a cool place even though we just went to this one section.

There's a lot of construction going on right now so the first floor is blocked off. Otherwise, there's 4 other floors to explore and I'm in absolute awe of this library. The elevator is clear and there's a nice view as you go up. They have so many tables and individual work spaces to study. I love the resources that they offer all ages. From children, college students, and the unhoused. It's just super stuffy/hot during the day, I don't think I could stay inside for long. I will forever support my local libraries!

Unfortunately, this visit was disappointing. There were multiple loud phone conversations, including repeated profanity and threatening language, which made it difficult to concentrate. The fifth floor also had no air conditioning during my visit, making the space uncomfortably hot and not conducive to working for any length of time. I genuinely enjoy public libraries, so I'm hoping I just happened to visit on an off day. Based on this experience, however, I left with a negative impression.

My review is based on the courtesy of staff, their knowledge of services offered, the convenience of the huddle rooms -availability and reserving, and the items they occasionally have available for purchase. I've come here for printing recently instead of going to the UPS store. Saves me more money. You can submit things to be printed via email or you can print things yourself either from desktop or directly at a set up printer. There is a fee, which is minimal, and there are some limitations to what you can print. I've used the Culture Pass deal and saved the price of two tickets for two adults (online price, age 18-64, $26 each) to visit the Heard Museum. Very cool, and it was our first to the Heard Museum, so added bonus. More recently the gentleman I spoke to provided me a quick lesson on how/where/when to pick up future Culture Pass so I could participate again when I find passes available. Some of the Culture Pass locations you could visit: Desert Botanical Garden The Heard Museum Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art Reid Park Zoo Gilbert Historical Museum Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum Arcosanti Sedona Heritage Museum Lowell Observatory Superstition Mountain Museum and several more. Desktops are available for a reserved period of time, and wifi can be accessed without a specific set limit if you bring your own laptop. On one occasion we picked up a selection of music cds for $1 each. Better price than many second hand stores. And I did see they have books available for purchase. A few other activities the library offers: Ask a Master Gardener presented by U of A Maricopa Master Gardeners. Seed exchange Free Garden Seeds (limit 3) Break TIME Chandler Recreation Guide And numerous other Community Events -all viewable on their website. Keep in mind, you must have a library card to use most of the things mentioned.

It is a cute but older library. They have a kids section with toddler baby books next to the play area, a rug with toys that can be played with, a lego station, puzzles, and coloring. They have storytime twice a week in the mornings. They seem to have a lot of other activities for kids too. They always decorate the library cute for themes they do. They also have a take home craft you can grab! Overall a great library. I would love to see a toy check out station (like mesa library), and some different toddler classes (like a music and move class- apache junction library has something like this). They also have interactive learning games on the kids computers here. Staff have always been nice and helpful. Would recommend!

Let's talk about this so-called "public" library that insists on enforcing unnecessary rules. I…read morehave a shy teenager, and when I accompanied him to the teen section to help him find a book and provide login information for the "teen" computer, I was rudely told to leave. Apparently, their goal is to encourage teens to use the space--but does that really mean parents can't quietly assist their kids? The section was nearly empty, with only two other kids present. I initially explained to the first staff member that I would leave once my son was finished searching, yet she still felt the need to give me attitude. Barely three minutes later, a second staff member came in and, just as rudely, reminded me that this section was strictly for teenagers--making me feel as if I was breaking some major rule. I pointed out that my son was still looking for his book, but the unnecessary policing continued. Once he was finished, I told him, "Let's go to the open area," since apparently moms aren't allowed in the teen section. The fact that this kind of petty enforcement exists in a PUBLIC library--a space funded by taxpayers--is beyond ridiculous. If you have a shy teen who might need support while navigating the teen section, I'd suggest finding another library. Otherwise, be prepared to be watched like a hawk for simply helping your own child.
