There are also numerous homeless people inside the library which also seemed to hoard the tables. There is a large selection of books.

The kids area is not very big so if not absolutely necessary I wouldn't bother bringing a stroller, the toys are a little grungy and old but they get the job done.

Even with the nearby park, there was plenty of parking for those visiting the library. The room we were in was to the left upon entering the first set of doors. The room is a little dated. That being said, the room was clean. Plenty of chairs were provided for the space. Microphone worked. The meeting space is far enough away from the regular part of the library that the two areas do not have an effect on each other. Restrooms were close by.

In the air conditioning on a hot summer day. We came to the library to see a juggling show and were not disappointed. James Reid had parents and kids and other visitors in awe and wonder and laughing at times. Great juggling skills. Earned a word for our summer reading program, too. Definitely worth the drive over from Mesa. Really nice building. Great layout for the books they offer. Next to the "big room" where we saw the juggling we also found a little used book library. Grabbed us up a handful of books to read. Fantastic visit.

Although I am not a resident of Surprise or Arizona for that matter, I was able to sign up for a free library card. I even got to choose my library card design that was created by residents in an annual contest. They have a variety of services here that you will find at other libraries across the country. You can check out physical books or download the Surprise Library app and find links to the Hoopla and Libby apps for free digital content downloads including movies, TV shows, podcasts, audiobooks, music, and more. They have laptops and WiFi devices available, but there seems to be a very long wait for these. People can check them out for a 3-week period. You can also use computers there at the facility. I loved seeing a group of friends playing games at a table. There was also a Seed Library for people wanting to grow their own plants. The Library of Things (LOTs) seems to be popular for kids to checkout toys. My favorite item was the cultural pass. They had available passes to a variety of museums and cultural establishments. You could checkout a pass and use it within a seven day period. I wanted to checkout the free pass to the Phoenix Art Museum. Unfortunately, this branch didn't have one available at the moment I came in, but the staff was kind enough to direct me to another branch that had it and they held it for me since they knew I was on my way. The pass was good for two free admissions to the art museum. This saved us over $50. What an amazing service offering! There are countless events on the calendar, especially for young families. It's definitely worth visiting your local branch to find entertainment and educational resources to enrich your life.

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.

Their welcoming and check-out system is very organized and runs smoothly; you can tell they all know what they are doing! The only reason I didn't give more stars is because 1) it is super squished together, and with the crowds it's hard to get anywhere, let alone stand in one place too long browsing through a book like I usually do at any given bookstore; 2) the selection is hit-or-miss because it's all based on whatever the public (and the library) decides to donate, and most of it is way-outdated stuff. But you can dig and still find fairly recent titles. The price you CAN'T beat - I bought 15 books for 19 dollars! Score!
