| - This library is wonderful and though we usually go to the downtown Chandler Library, this library is much closer to where we live. I really love the library system and I don't know about the other Maricopa County Libraries, but though this one is small, it is very convenient for us.
The drop box outside of the library allows you to drop books and media into the secured box that is really easy to use. They have a slot for books and a slot for media.
Inside the library, you can check your items back in without waiting for someone else to do this. They have an automated system where you place your library item on a conveyor belt, it somehow detects your book or media and then it shows in the screen it's been checked back in and then it goes on the conveyor belt into the back to be put back into circulation. LOVE, LOVE this!!!
And the system for checking out books has gotten super easy. You can either use your library card or memorize your number. You can place all your items in the box of the same type - like all books together (stacked on top of each other) and the electronic system will detect all the books and check the out at the same time. Then, if you have a pile of DVDs, you can do that all at once instead of scanning each item separately. LOVE, LOVE this!
I also like that you don't have to print out a receipt, so that saves a little bit of trees.
This is a high school library that also serves as a Maricopa County Library. It is open and spacious, well organized. There are many computer terminals for people to use as well as computer terminals for younger kids (these are placed on tables that are lowered for their height.
This library is very clean, quiet (as any library should be), plenty of parking outside. The library staff and security guards are all very nice and friendly. There are 4 checkout stations and 1 check in, which is plenty as this does not take long.
Some other pluses are that you can renew things online. Media can be renewed up to 5 times (or 5 weeks for DVDs) as long as no one else is requesting the item. Books are for 3 weeks at a time and you can renew up to 5 times. The online feature is awesome.
I love that you can check up to 10 DVDs at a time out, too. During the summer, this is awesome and fewer trips out in the heat to go back to the library. And also, they have lots and lots of DVDs so even the newer ones, they have many copies.
Love the organization, cleanliness and closeness of this library to us.
