What's not to love about Tempe Public Library? It's not huge, but they have a book store inside and it's so cheap. You can grab a hard-cover book that's in PRISTINE shape for, literally, 50 cents. How fucking awesome is that? Really, really fucking awesome!
Their selection of movies is always really great. From this place, I have rented some amazing stuff: The 7th Seal, The Thin Blue Line, Overlord. I saw A Taste of Cherry here, which sucked, but I shall not fault the library because the movie SOUNDED really amazing, but it ended up being a long-ass movie about a guy driving around. Talking.
