    This branch has such an old, musky smell to it. Small selections of books its hard to keep coming back.

If you get a library card, you have the opportunity to get cultural passes throughout the city. If you go to the second floor, they have conference rooms and places for kids to learn and also play. The residents of Chandler should be very happy that the city has provided such an amazing facility.

I figured it was about time I checked it out and I was very impressed. The first floor has adult collections, study rooms, meeting rooms, and quiet work areas. They even have a cafe to purchase drinks and snacks. The second floor is dedicated to children and families. They have a ton of children's books, computers, play spaces, and story time rooms. Staff is extremely friendly and helpful. I was told by getting a library card, I can check out passes that provide free admission to museums, gardens, and cultural attractions around Arizona. How cool! Will check out the cultural passes another time but did get the library card. They also offer a lot of free classes and programs for adults, teens and children such as book discussion groups, arts and crafts workshops, and story times. There's something for everyone here.

    While the library itself is clean, modern, and welcoming, the noise level made it one of the worst…read morelibrary experiences I've had. People were having loud conversations, talking on speakerphone, children were crying and running around, and there were constant distractions everywhere. At one point, a woman sat next to me and conducted multiple business calls on speakerphone the entire time. I also overheard very personal conversations about evictions and divorces that really shouldn't be discussed loudly in a public study space. It was nearly impossible to focus or concentrate. I understand libraries serve many purposes today, but there should still be some level of respect for those trying to study or work quietly. Compared to libraries I've used in New York, this environment was far louder and much less conducive to studying. If it weren't for the computers and resources available, I would definitely choose another place to complete my coursework. Unfortunately, with over 30 hours left of classes and assignments to finish, I didn't have much choice. Very disappointing experience.

    Let me preface this to say that I know very little about the extent of their book or audio…read moreselection at this location. My review is based on the courtesy of staff, their knowledge of services offered, the convenience of the huddle rooms -availability and reserving, and the items they occasionally have available for purchase. I've come here for printing recently instead of going to the UPS store. Saves me more money. You can submit things to be printed via email or you can print things yourself either from desktop or directly at a set up printer. There is a fee, which is minimal, and there are some limitations to what you can print. I've used the Culture Pass deal and saved the price of two tickets for two adults (online price, age 18-64, $26 each) to visit the Heard Museum. Very cool, and it was our first to the Heard Museum, so added bonus. More recently the gentleman I spoke to provided me a quick lesson on how/where/when to pick up future Culture Pass so I could participate again when I find passes available. Some of the Culture Pass locations you could visit: Desert Botanical Garden The Heard Museum Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art Reid Park Zoo Gilbert Historical Museum Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum Arcosanti Sedona Heritage Museum Lowell Observatory Superstition Mountain Museum and several more. Desktops are available for a reserved period of time, and wifi can be accessed without a specific set limit if you bring your own laptop. On one occasion we picked up a selection of music cds for $1 each. Better price than many second hand stores. And I did see they have books available for purchase. A few other activities the library offers: Ask a Master Gardener presented by U of A Maricopa Master Gardeners. Seed exchange Free Garden Seeds (limit 3) Break TIME Chandler Recreation Guide And numerous other Community Events -all viewable on their website. Keep in mind, you must have a library card to use most of the things mentioned.

    Perry Library is a Gilbert public library I believe under Chandler unified school district. My…read moretoddler and I have been coming here since we moved here a year ago since it is the closest. It is a cute but older library. They have a kids section with toddler baby books next to the play area, a rug with toys that can be played with, a lego station, puzzles, and coloring. They have storytime twice a week in the mornings. They seem to have a lot of other activities for kids too. They always decorate the library cute for themes they do. They also have a take home craft you can grab! Overall a great library. I would love to see a toy check out station (like mesa library), and some different toddler classes (like a music and move class- apache junction library has something like this). They also have interactive learning games on the kids computers here. Staff have always been nice and helpful. Would recommend!

Apparently, their goal is to encourage teens to use the space--but does that really mean parents can't quietly assist their kids? The section was nearly empty, with only two other kids present. I initially explained to the first staff member that I would leave once my son was finished searching, yet she still felt the need to give me attitude. Barely three minutes later, a second staff member came in and, just as rudely, reminded me that this section was strictly for teenagers--making me feel as if I was breaking some major rule. I pointed out that my son was still looking for his book, but the unnecessary policing continued. Once he was finished, I told him, "Let's go to the open area," since apparently moms aren't allowed in the teen section. The fact that this kind of petty enforcement exists in a PUBLIC library--a space funded by taxpayers--is beyond ridiculous. If you have a shy teen who might need support while navigating the teen section, I'd suggest finding another library. Otherwise, be prepared to be watched like a hawk for simply helping your own child.
