Visiting the Tempe Library with kids- the toys are out and storytime is back! Such a great indoor spot to get away from the heat. With the cafe locates inside, you could literally spend an entire day in here!
Youth
The youth section is on the lower level and is enclosed making it a great spot if you have loud kids!
Crafts
At the front reception desk, there are pages to draw, sometimes there are to go crafts and other activities offered by the library. These will vary by season.
Board Books
This corner with a book train is dedicated to board books with a cozy bench for reading stories to young kids.
Children’s Area
This play area inside the Youth section is off to one side and such a great place to play. There is a massive play house, puppet stage, train table, building blocks, educational games, and more.
Books
Tempe Library has a large selection of books to choose from. I personally love that all the kid’s books are in the lower section, so it felt a little safer and easier to let older kids venture away to find books.
Tempe Library With Kids
Seed Library
You can check out seeds here. There are books on how to take care of plants, native plants, and more information on how to care for plans here in Arizona.
Cafe
A cafe inside the library on the upper level was a great surprise. They had coffee, smoothies, snacks, and all kinds of good things for the kids. I was very happy to see fruits for snack options and not just candy.
