Yucca Branch Library

If you are not of a colored background, this library is not for you. Nothing but contempt from staff and patrons!

Convenient location, with convenient parking. This library has a large selection of books and videos/cd’s to be checked out, as well as schedule base of events for people to attend. Most importantly, the hours are accommodating as are the caring staff.
Additionally, you are able to checkout breakout rooms as well for meetings or studying. I would recommend it, as this location can sometimes get noisy depending on the area of the library you are in.
As mentioned the library staff is great and very helpful whether you are looking for a particular book, or need to know of any upcoming events at the library. Overall, this library is centrally located for both young and old and a great place to escape and hide underneath a book.

The staff at the main desk need some SERIOUS customer service training. The impression given to anyone with the nerve to approach the desk for help — you’re imposing upon them, they hate their job, they’d rather do just about anything other than help you. Flipping ridiculous and unacceptable attitudes considering they’re working at a library — not exactly a high stress job.

One of the worst things about moving is dealing is the simple logistics. I used to pick up my library orders from Burton Barr either on my way home (during the week) or as the focal point of a weekend bike (and brunch) stroll. But now that we’re just a little ways north of Yucca, it seemed fitting to make this my new pickup locale.
Now, hey — it’s a library. Libraries have hobos. They also have weirdos, creeps, and the associated security. As a guy, I can pretty much ignore all this but I get how women can feel uncomfortable. That said, I like Yucca because you can pull right up to the book drop on the east side of the building to return your books after hours.

First off, yay for centralized library systems! I’ve lived in cities with a lone city library and others with a library system, and it simply doesn’t make sense to me to have a separate system for each city/​building. So, as to limited selection… why aren’t you using library loan? If you have internet access (available at the library) just find what you want in the catalog, place a hold on it and pick it up next time you visit. It does require some forethought, but I feel the access to such selection is well worth that little extra effort.
I favor this library solely because of its location: we shop at Costco so it’s super convenient to swing by on our weekend errands. I’ve always found it to be clean and never overcrowded. Staff has regularly been friendly and helpful. As for complaints about «homeless people»…I have words for you, but, more than anything, if you don’t want to deal with the public, don’t visit public spaces.

We all really enjoyed Snakes in the Library! Thank you for making fun things like this available.

Adding a star because you can order books online and pick them up here. That makes up for the small selection.

Kind of a dump. Lots of homeless hanging around. People inside using the computers talking to themselves and in desperate need of some serious personal hygiene. I think I will make the drive to another branch from now on. This one’s not for me.

This may not be the biggest, baddest library in town, but it sure is a fun clean branch. I’ve been coming here on and off for the past two months, and I really like it here. It’s tucked away in the back of Christown mall, out of sight to most, unless you know it’s here. Cute, quaint and always friendly, I really like it here.
The benefits of coming here are there’s plenty of parking, place is well staffed, they have an ample amount of computers to use and tables to sit at with plenty of room to spread out. They have a great selection of books, and the staff for the most part is helpful and friendly. Their closed on Sundays and Mondays, but hey, that’s okay, there’s plenty of other library branches open if you need to get online or check out books.
If you can’t find something here, the librarian will look it up for you and have it sent to the library itself. I haven’t done it at this branch yet, but have asked since I’m always looking for random materials. Bathrooms are clean with limited stalls, and there’s a security guard here, so no need to worry. There’s a small kid section in the back, along with a cute little play area. I come here because its cute, small and easy to get in and out! Overall not a half bad place.

Went to babytime this morning. What a joke. We are used to Burton Bar and that is always great. It started at the front desk where the rep said: Is there any? It repeats every week. Duh.
It started 5 minutes late and she ran through the program within 17 minutes. 6 songs, 2 books, bubbles… great pace for crawlers. Oh, and she didn’t really sing. Everything was on cd. The remote was her friend. It was chaos and only 6 kids were present. Then she dumped toys on the floor and left the room. She didn’t put any effort in creating a group event. All parents chatted during the program, it eas a mess. I wondered if we were done or not… so I left. I’ll drive to central library anytim. What a joke.

Yucca is a great neighborhood library, if I may say so. It’s not huge, but you can place holds on anything from any Phoenix library, get on the internet, read the paper, and any number of other things.
