There is literally no better place in the world than the Arabian Library. No kidding, I'd rather spend a day here than a week in Disneyland. I don't go to libraries for books but mostly just for getting work done, and no place does that better than here. The ambience is just amazing. The architecture of the building is flawless and the lighting makes it easy to focus. The high ceilings and the lighting adds a dimension that is extremely comforting. There are tons of places to do work. There are different tables and chairs so choose whatever suits you. The furniture is high quality and incredibly comfortable and includes wooden tables, couches, and leather chairs with foot rests. They have speedy wifi and computers are free to everyone to use ( I am not a resident of Scottsdale nor do I have a card here). Even the bathrooms here are nice. The interior design is gorgeous (yes, even in the bathrooms). They have both outdoor and indoor seating which is very accommodating. The staff here is fantastic. They also have great sections for kids and teens and they have a little food area and shop which fit in nicely. Another one of my favorite things here is how quiet it is all the time. The patrons are very respectful and it is always quiet. I haven't taken a good look at them, but the book section is a little limited because of the size of the library, however they do have a huge selection of books and movies.
This is a gorgeous institution and great for anyone who struggles to get work done at home. Come here and I swear you WILL get work done.
