| - We love books around here, but recently realized if we wanted to still have a place to sleep, we needed to cut down on our rapid accumulation practices. We agreed that from now on we'll "rent" books first, and only buy them if we can't live without them.
So far, the Mesa main branch has had every book we've wanted, with little -- and sometimes no -- wait times. The library is clean and well-organized, and the staff is very friendly and helpful. There's free wireless internet and computer access, and their magazine collection is pretty great, too.
So far, haven't seen many signs of recent cutbacks and layoffs, other than reduced hours and the fact they're now closed on Sundays. Also, although they're pretty good about emailing due-date reminders, it's not foolproof so be sure to keep track to avoid the $.25/day per book fines.
Thanks Mesa -- we love our library!
