This is the White Tanks Branch Library.
“The White Tank Branch Library, a 29,000 square feet LEED registered project, includes a collection capacity of 35,000 items, story time room seating for 137 children, Wi-Fi, Friend’s of the Library bookshop, 44 public computers, Dewey-less bookstore arrangement of materials, dedicated space for teens -- "Teen Oasis", 4 public use quiet study rooms, state-of-the-art book return sorting machine, on site coffee café, study table seating for 30 and a Maricopa County Parks and Recreation Department Nature Center.”
Tracy and I visited it one beautiful Sunday afternoon recently. Unfortunately, the library portion wasn’t open that day. This facility has million dollar views in every direction and has so much to offer the community.
They offer daytime and nighttime tours of trails in the White Tanks Park. I believe this is the area where they stage to begin the tours and share whatever educational information they have to share.
I liked how the interior lights appeared to be ornaments on the reflection of the saguaro cactus. These were obviously transplanted cactus….hence the boards propping them up.
Even the bike rack looked like a work of art.
It’s a gorgeous facility that would be well worth the trip to visit.
