Heh, didn't know reviewing a library would be so hard...I've been sitting here thinking of how to go about it for about 15 minutes.  Anyway...
Books!  Yeah they got'em.  The ones you want.  And they will GET the ones you need.  That's right, the Chandler Library system has awesome tools on their website that allow you to borrow from other branches, AND other libraries throughout the country.  
But...that really doesn't have anything to do with this SPECIFIC branch.  I rate it so high because of the customer service.  The help desk is just that...HELP.  
I try to do research and have the author and the name of the book all ready for them to just search it on their database...well, sometimes I forget my handy little lists at home and then I'm screwed.  But the people at this branch have you covered.  They are patient, friendly, knowledgeable, and they are easy to find lingering around the aisles or behind the desk.
Once you've got your items, you'll be greeted by the people at the check-out desk.  Once again, these folks are friendly, conversational, helpful, and some of them are just plain funny.  
The whole staff makes this place a pleasure to visit.
Now, as far as the facility itself...  Clean, efficient, organized, bright, and well kept.  There isn't much of a 'chill-spot' vibe here, though.  Its basically a computer area (plentiful), the books, and a decent sized study area.  No cafe or comfy couches and stuff.  Go to the main branch for that.  Haven't had to use the bathroom there yet...(yes, that is important to some people).
I cannot complain about them not having specific books when I want them, due to the internet system they have.  However, this branch doesn't have as big of a selection as the main Chandler branch.  
This review is being written specifically to point out the outstanding staff they have, so sorry if I'm a little light on the nitty-gritty.

I love the library.  This is my local branch, and frequent here often.  Membership is free, as long as you are a local resident.  Some of the benefits include computer usage, checking out books, all the local standard library stuff that you would expect.

What I love about this place is that they are open 7 days a week, and late during the week (I think until 8 PM.)  I love going here on Sundays to check my email on the computer, etc.  I think you can print here for 20 cents a page or something.  Plus, the staff here seems to be efficient and so far, has answered all of my questions when asked.
