For a neighborhood library, the OV Public library meets all expectations. Architecture is modern, picturesque views from the windows, decent sized«quiet» section, an area for younger children, homework help sections, a specific Teen Zone, program room for seniors with various activities including scrabble etc. Their book collection seems to be good and if you don’t find something you need, staff are helpful at getting your desired book in from a sister library if available. More pluses: open till 7pm Mon-Thu, reliable free WiFi, friendly staff, ample parking(I always found covered parking), views of Catalina’s and Mt. Lemmon and even a covered outdoor seating area. I went there regularly for 2 months while preparing for an exam and am glad to have had this gem in my neighborhood. (Addendum: I passed that exam so I love this library even more now!)

This is a beautiful, clean library with plenty of space for reading or studying. Free wifi that is reliable and fast. Small study rooms available. As a Tucson native, I love the mountain views, too! My only complaint is that it’s not super quiet, and due to its small size, you can generally hear people around you all the time. I came here to study, so I can’t comment on the book selection.

As a newcomer to Arizona I was excited to go and get my library card. The librarian was very welcoming and kind, I told her I most often read historical fiction. She showed me the fiction section and scooted off so I could peruse. The library is a bit small so I’m not sure that I would use it for sprawling out studying materials and spending all day tucked in a corner, but I was pleased with the selection of books and the overall atmosphere.

Finally, a nice size library with lots of comfortable chairs, consistent wi-fi and a quiet room for the children who want to run and play. Remains open until 5pm on Saturdays. There was even a soda machine for those that got thirsty and didn’t want to go on a drive to find a soda. P. S. I only went here to do a little personal work in a different environment, so I can’t speak to the selection of books/cds/dvds.

For a small community library I think this place is great. Limited selection but you can go online and transfer any book in the Pima library system to Oro Valley for pick up. It is very geared towards children with a very large children’s section. They have plenty of computers to use. Lots of comfortable seats and plenty of tables to work at. Good selection of magazines and it is Oro Valley so there are no creepers hanging out there. They also have an incredible patio with a magnificent view… but wait theres more! They have Two(2) electric vehicle charging stations. I do not have an electric vehicle but If I did I would want my car to have the awesome view of the mountains you can enjoy here while it is being filled up.

I love the Oro Valley Public Library. The librarians are wonderful and quick to help you find something or recommend a new book. The building is beautiful and bright located in the heart of Oro Valley. There are a wealth of different book clubs, including my personal favorite the SciFi bookclub. My only complaint is that most of the book clubs(all but mine) meet during the day so if you work a 9 – 5 job it’s tough to participate. They also have a great kids section with loads to choose from.
