| - People giving 1 star reviews must be expressing their narrow minded opinions on this place based on the homeless people encountered rather than fairly reviewing the library as a whole. First off, a public library is for the public, not for the pretentious that don't know how to accept that it's 2016 & that there is homelessness everywhere & simply the fact that homeless people are welcome to PUBLIC SPACES such as PUBLIC libraries just as much as everyone else is. If they're not bothering you or others around & minding their own business, mind your own too.
I simply don't understand why people have so many complaints. If you take a moment to walk around this building, on all floors, you will see how much this library truly offers & serves to the Phoenix community. I suppose only someone, like myself, who is from a community that does not have these free resources in a public space, would actually appreciate it.
By far one of the most beautiful libraries, if not the most beautiful library, I have ever seen or been to.
I went straight to the 5th floor to get some studying done. It's a really great place to study. They have computers open for the public to use and have desks with individual outlets right under them for laptop/tablet users.
I walked around on the floors open to customers & was amazed at the resources they offer at this library. From a room with very old documents that can be viewed in a beautifully isolated & secure glass room by appointment, to a sectioned off historical Arizonian book section, to a gallery of artwork from famous books & authors they showcase for the month, a college/career center with advisors, a business center that also has advisors for those who want to start businesses. This library offers & benefits the community so much. I even saw flyers on the way out that they hold free yoga classes at the library! What?! Amazing!!!!
This place has it all. A public library that has books, magazines, CDs, DVDs, private study rooms, computers, hundreds of desks for study space, free/useful resources to help the people of the community succeed!!!!!!!!! I wish Los Angeles had a library or public center that can serve the children, teens, students, and the rest of the community. I truly hope the community realizes and appreciates what the city is giving back to them through this building and the services/resources offered.
