It has been a while, but this is another post in my series featuring the libraries in Phoenix, AZ.  So far I have featured the Burton Barr Central Library, the Cesar Chavez Library in Laveen, the Palo Verde Library in Maryvale, the Scottsdale Civic Center Library and the Arabian Library in Scottsdale.

This post features the Desert Broom Library in far north Phoenix, almost to Cave Creek.  Like the Arabian Library in Scottsdale the Desert Broom was designed by architect richärd + bauer architecture, llc.  The library sits on a desert site with track homes and strip malls encroaching.  But its materials of oxidized steel, glass and stone along with the design allow it to remain distinct and part of the Arizona desert.  Architectural photograph of the Desert Broom Library in Phoenix
