| - Love this library! I go here almost nightly.
There are around 30 computers upstairs for adults, and plenty of computers downstairs for the munchkins in your life. The computer speed is pretty good, and the computers rarely act up.
There are tons of books, CDs, DVDs, and magazines you can borrow. And if you forget to return them on time, you don't have to pay your fine at this library until it reaches some stratosphere-level dollar amount. :-)
This library is plenty large, with lots of room for browsing and hanging out, with a fun decor. (When you park your car, and are approaching the library, look up. Even the outside matches the kind of funky, futuristic, mod that the inside has.) And if you bring your own laptop, there is comfy seating for you. The librarians and other staff members are very helpful, with Todd and Gary being especially obliging.
You don't have to be a Phoenix resident to get a library card here, and you may renew borrowed items on your phone or computer at home, or by calling their renewal phone number (which is on the back of your library card, even the little itty-bitty keyring card).
The only minor complaint I have about this library: The noise level gets a bit ridiculous at times, with their attitude being that it isn't 1975 anymore, and library patrons no longer have to be silent. (Okay, I get that, but sometimes it sounds like you're in someone's living room, with personal phone calls being made at full-volume speech, mothers singing songs to their children, and couples using one computer complete with running commentary on the YouTube vid they are watching. I mean, come on!)
All in all, I love this library, and recommend you come check it out. Oh, don't come on a Friday - they're closed.
