Make way for this great new long awaited addition to the San Tan Valley community. We visited today…read moreon their opening day. My son is really into reading and goes through books like there's no tomorrow. We have paid for access to the Queen Creek library because there is no other library close but I'm beyond excited that there is now a close library in our county. This library has all new books, a cute little underwater themed children's area to sit and read, play a floor puzzle or play with some of the block toys that they have. They also have cool modern seating areas around the library, a computer area, copier, fax and printer. Since this place is new the shelves and books are sparkling clean. The employees were very friendly and helpful. I also read that they are searching for volunteers so help lead some programs! We will be back for sure

Nice library. Small and inviting kids section. There is a diversified selection of kids books.read more

When I saw the event Tea and Tarot (October 2026), I knew I'd finally make my way to the library as…read morealways say I need to stop in! Sometimes you just need something to draw you in, then you have a membership card to hopefully stop in more. I'm excited to see what they have to offer as it is easily 3-4x larger than I remember from the mid 2000s with 20,000-square-foot reading garden opening up this month! How cool! As for the event, it was amazing! Loved hearing about the witch trials for some history, tea leaf reading for a relaxing sip and trying to read the shapes, tarot reading if you'd like, and lastly, some seeds for your apothecary. Not your typical event, but perfect for spooky season. Shocked to see 30+ attend, and shared positive feedback with staff! Check this library out as The Apache Junction Public Library recently earned the Certified Autism Center (CAC) designation. Welcome for all and one of the best libraries in Arizona if you ask me!

I came here to the library to renew my library card, and while I was here, I checked out everything…read morein the library. They have all sorts of rooms and places for you to sit if you choose to look at a book while you're at the library or you borrow something that has to stay in the library and you look at it while you're there and then return it such as the high school yearbooks that they have for Apache Junction High School. There are plenty of computers for your use and you can have anything printed out while you were there. If I recall, I think it's a quarter to print something out. Plus they have a craft room where you can use a cricut machine, printers, craft supplies, etc. and they also have a team room for the teenagers to hang out in. So there is something for everyone at this library and that is why I like coming here. The only thing I was not crazy about were the weird people outside in front of the library at the donation area. That seems to attract a lot of homeless and scary looking people.

Love the section near the front door which features paperback/hard cover books and audiobooks for sale, most of them less than 2 bucks! Bought Patricia Cromwell and Amy Tan novels and discovered an excellent copy of the Day of the Trifids audiobook. My father-in-law also bought some books of his favorite authors. The place is nice and cool in the summer (the central a/c was heavenly) and they have a roaring fire in the gas fireplace in the winter. They also have a bank of computers for internet surfing and an adorable kids library. This is easily my favorite place in Show Low!

The library has everything you might need to rent or borrow/checkout; CD's, DVD's, kitchen instrument's, meeting rooms, computers and of coarse books. I'm sure there are many things I don't know about but this is a staff friendly place to enjoy some quiet time at a library. The on-line system is very easy to use when reserving books.

We are full time travelers so we visit libraries in different places. Payson Library is very…read morepretty, has lots of books, and a nice bookstore where I bought books for .25. However, I can only give three stars because it's one of the noisiest libraries I've been in. The librarians hold conversations (not just about books) with patrons at full volume. Constantly. And patrons seem to take the cue as well--loud talking and laughing. We're grateful for the library but would have appreciated more quiet.

It's a whole vibe and one that you just can't get with a bookstore that primarily sells new books. There are some items here that are kept under glass, making me think that they might be rare or valuable. Just browsing the shelves provides endless amounts of curiosity-about the stories or information that these treasures hold. If you're looking for something specific, you might be able to ask the shop keeper for assistance, or just come and see what treasures find you. You're guaranteed to find something!

On our way out, we stopped at the "for sale" section and I picked up a gently used board book for $.75!!

It's very modern and well kept, but calling it a cultural center is a joke. The acquisitions librarian, Doug, is an arrogant mansplainer who shows little to no respect to anyone who isn't a straight white male. If you're a local author, he and the others at the front desk are openly rude and judgmental, speaking over you while saying, "We don't accept self-published books." For the record, I am traditionally published with my books in international libraries and stores. It was also mansplained to me that my books are not being accepted due to the appropriateness of reading materials and the fact that we live in an area where political feelings affect what the library chooses to select. I write romance and paranormal. There's hardly anything nefarious about that, but god forbid the MC in my paranormal series has an LGBTQAI+ daughter. The horror! Clutch y'all's pearls and hide your children! However, the real slap in the face was them still reaching out to invite me to their Indie Author Day in November of 2023. The event was not well organized, keeping all authors in a side room and not really advertising this to the public. Also, they brought in a marketing specialist who went on about how it's better to self publish than go traditional. That aside, they have a great selection for young children and story times. It's great if you want to get them into reading. Personally, I visit the library in Casa Grande thirty minutes away. It's in the same county, and I can drop off my books in Maricopa without being charged fees. But if you're seeking anything diverse that isn't mainstream, you're SoL.
