Agave Library is a pavilion of masonry, metal and glass set in natural desert landscaping. A tower contains the children's story room and marks the location from Pinnacle Peak Road. The library's functions are logically arranged for easy browsing, comfort, and exploration. The polished concrete floors, inlaid area rugs, colorfully upholstered furniture and sky-lit exposed wood truss ceiling suggest a traditional Arizona "great" room. State-of-the-art book return and self-check out systems, illuminated book stacks complete the furnishings that make this library a dynamic town square for the northwest Phoenix community it serves.

 

The library features a children's story room, community meeting room, teen center, Internet access, computer training lab, group study rooms, reading garden, as well as a collection of magazines, newspapers, CDs and DVDs.
