Mesquite is a sweet little library.

Of course because of taxpayers monies this library is somewhat commendable. The air-conditioning was powerful and at the end of my roughly two hour visit I was cold. The Dark Side: Three men occupied when I arrived, what I'd call comfortable 'living room chairs,' my entire visit. Meanwhile, walk over after about an hour, two more looking 'living room,' chairs. Only these had a small desk attached. Taped too that little desk Read This: "Reserved for Teens," and ages appeared. No teens were sitting in these chairs. All the while, I am trying to study sitting in the most extremely uncomfortable, rigid, cold, hard, metallic chair...half of a cage...yet exists in memory...yet another nightmare. Needless, too say at the end my back was aching. How can anyone accomplish anything when feeling uncomfortable and in pain? Impossible. Granted all public libraries seating are undesirable. However, May I suggest if you manage to find a comfortable chair, don't be so selfish and, sit in it for hours on end, go home and sit in your own chair... leave it too their narcissistic culture...nauseating at best... but, not all.

Very helpful, I use the online overdrive e book delivery system a lot, but I also get enough books out that I know the library is a very nice place to sit and read or print out anything you need pretty quick.

What's the cost of faxing?

Maria | Apr 21, 2022
Brian Reese | Apr 21, 2022

Faxes are free if they are local. I don't believe you can send long distance faxes. Ones to 800 numbers might be free, I am not positive. You can also scan a document to yourself and email it if unable to fax.

How much is it to print papers?

Josette DeLowe | Oct 18, 2021

20c per page normally

Do you take donations of magazines?

Carolyn Noia | Oct 19, 2019
Draper | Oct 19, 2019

Thank you for asking. I think you should know; that, when you're asking one of the local guides a question about a place; that, it doesn't necessarily mean that they work there. However, I do frequent the library at least once a week and it would be my guess that if the publication is not that far out of date, they would accept the donation. They have a donation slot on the outside of the building so you can just put them in there.

Do I pay for a library card? If so how much does it cost?

lathvia begay | Oct 19, 2019
Pandora King | Oct 19, 2019

You do not pay for a card. If you have a online Phoenix public library card, you can turn it into a physical one by going to your local library. ( I have done this.)
