Palo Verde Library

The staff is friendly and helpful. They have a great selection of books and can get you what you need from other libraries as well. Pick up some cultural passes while you're there and enjoy free entry to museums around the valley.

I went to this library for the first time today to study and I was impressed. The size is kinda small, but the layout is nicely done and its clean and modern. And did I mention the VIEW?! Oh my goodness, its so wonderful to sit at the east end with a full unobstructed view of greenery while you do homework. Very good amount of seating, though few tables for just one person. Tables are pretty small and had 4 chairs. Be warned if you're an introvert someone may sit with you (happened to me.) There are outlets for your laptops built into the sides of the tables; very cool. Not all the tables have outlets, so check first. I also appreciated how quiet it was there, however once it hit 2PM or so and school let out it got a little loud. I had to take into consideration that its also about 20 feet away from a community center, some boisterous kids went back and forth frequently between the two. I would recommend going there EARLY to study. There is a kids reading corner with little tables and chairs(though I saw adults were using them) and plenty of books for them to read. There is even a row of computers just for little ones. They have a good selection of movies and CD's as well. The location is pretty rough, but there is a security guard who walks the inside/outside regularly. I don't live close to this library, but I will be going back to study. I enjoyed my time there.
