I love my library, just don't tell them I don't actually live in Tempe anymore and that I actually live in Scottsdale. I have been going to this library for years and I have yet to step foot into the Civic Center library in Scottsdale that is closer to my house because I am honestly a bit afraid. Am I going to be hassled at the door because I am not wearing proper shoes? Does the reference section contain books only informing readers of the best plastic surgeons, mixed drinks and make up application tips? I know my Tempe library and it accepts me for who I am.
I visit the book sale area every weekend for the best book deals around. You can get paperbacks for 50 cents, magazines for a quarter and hardbacks for $1.00. I find old and new treasures here all the time. After perusing the book sale area I visit the Connections Cafe which serves up all of your coffee, tea and snack needs right in the comfort of the library.
The staff here is friendly and helpful and the layout is easy to navigate. I am off to see if there is a review of the Scottsdale Civic Center Library to maybe calm my fears...
