This past weekend I had something happen to me that is kind of rare. A day off. So on my personal day I decided to wander over to the Scottsdale Public Library near Old Town Scottsdale (Officially Named: Civic Center Library). To my surprise, the library is actually pretty sweet.
I’m not 100% sure what I was expecting. Flashbacks of being 9 and having to copy encyclopedias for future school projects flooded my brain as I pulled into the parking lot. When I walked in, a breath of fresh air hit me. I was shocked. The place was clean. The scenery was beautiful. It was quiet but still pretty busy. Most of all, the atmosphere was just calm. I really enjoyed myself.
For those of you who have never been to a library, you can actually take books home FOR FREE. What I didn’t know was they have magazines, movies, books on CDs and the Scottsdale Library will soon have a Cafe and coffee shop (once renovations are done).
I highly recommend the Civic Center Library if you’re looking for something to do in Scottsdale. Take an hour, browse their selection, and even consider bringing the kids. They do have to be quiet after all.
An update will come later on once I have seen the improvments they are working on: Scottsdale Public Library Website
