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

Went for the first time because we had heard about the cool kids area and it did not disappoint!…read moreParking was a little tight and you can tell it's an older library, but the kids section was really cool. If there are a lot of kids it can get a little hectic, and the toddler toy area has outdated and sort of old/dirty toys, but there's a cool outdoor playground with misters and tons of shelving and seating. Overall a cool place even though we just went to this one section.

They have a little store and a seed library (two packets a month), as well as a decent selection of books, movies and other materials.

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.

I love me an old bookstore-the smell of the old books, the creaky wood floors and the set of eyes…read morethat gaze at you when you walk in the front door. 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!

The staff is wonderful. When my toddler began to have a meltdown, one of the staff members helped me finish checking out our books so my 3rd grader could get his books and we could get out of the building fast! Little moments like that are gold for a single mom trying to do all the things

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.
