I love the grounds of the library, right in the center of downtown Scottsdale. It is surrounded by the park as well as the Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts. Downstairs of the library there are rooms for lectures and film screenings, classes, etc.
A parking garage nearby as well as plenty of restaurants. Peaceful place to just bring a book and while away a lazy afternoon if one felt so inclined. Love it. Just love it.
