Chandler Public Library

This is a very nice location and not hard to find. The staff is nice but in the afternoons this place gets busy with the younger crowd. It is like a high school hangout. I would suggest visiting on your lunch break.

The Chandler Library has Boomerang Programs on many topics geared towards Baby Boomers who are trying to think about retirement - will they outlive their money?, how can they stay healthy?, how do they fill the time with 20-30 years of active life after 60 years old? Great topics, excellent presenters and at various branch locations. Highly recommended!

The Chandler Public Library system is great with four locations convenient in the city and good hours. Items can be reserved, often even before they are released, and items can be delivered to the branch closest to you. The facilities are modern and books can, in general, be found easily. There is a great selection of books and the internet access is also available.

The Chandler library is very close to where I live so I check out books here often. They have a nice selection of books for checkout. They also have computers that you can go and use to. The librarians are very nice people and will help you find particular books on subjects that you are looking for. It is very well kept up and very organized.

The Chandler Library is kind of small and in an odd location for a library. Actually it was hard for me to find the first time I went because it is in a regular shopping center. The selection of books is allright but not really that great if you are needing resources for a paper. I did not have much success when I was writing a paper. The librarians are nice though and did offer to look up resources for me at other libraries. I do rate them high because of their kind and helpful employees.

The Chandler downtown library is a great facility, especially for a city the size of Chandler. There are meeting rooms, private study rooms, a coffee shop, used book and gift shop and a wonderful selection of materials. Their book tracking and check out system is state of the art, allowing you to order materials from other branches, extend your check out time online, and drop off books at any branch in Chandler.

The children's section is very impressive. It covers most of the second floor and they often have special programs for kids such as story time, crafts, book clubs, etc.

PROS: Wide selection, nice facility
CONS: Weekend hours could be longer

This library is really hard to drive down the street and just pass up. It is in a very nice part of Chandler, but their selection of books just does not seem that high to me. They dont have books on some popular subjects that I would think they would have.
