The Sky Harbor International Airport lies conveniently in the center of Phoenix, Tempe and Scottsdale. A large airport, it was the eighth busiest in the nation during 2005. Strangely, the airport’s three terminals are numbered two, three and four, since terminal one was removed in the nineties.

The Scottsdale Public Library is actually a network of four libraries which serve the needs of Scottsdale's residents. Books, CDs, tapes and periodicals make up a growing library collection which is ideal for both leisure readers and in-depth researchers.
