I love this library! I grew up here so I have a soft spot for it. I'm closer to the Phoenix Library so I go online, put on hold what I want, pick it up and I'm in and out in less than 10 just like another reviewer said but if I can't find it at Mesquite it's worth trying here.
You can do the same thing here. Go online, put them on hold and pick them up. Otherwise, like someone said you might not find what you're looking for. The parking is super easy. There is a sheriff's dept. or police station right next door and the police cars are parked in this parking garage so be extra careful how you drive.
If you want to hang out inside there are big comfy chairs looking out giant windows.
The area is really cool. Swing right to the Scottsdale Center for the Arts where there are water fountains, flowers, lawns, and ducks.
It's good for walking the nephew up to Old Scottsdale. He can throw pennies in the fountains, feed the ducks, run in the grass. There are sculptures and the horse and carriage are often at the end of the walk. If you have to use the SCA restrooms, the lights change color which is awesome to a little kid.
Just don't go on the day they have an event.
