Modern library

The current library, built in 1974, is part of the Yavapai Library Network. The library has a vast collection of books, audiobooks on CD, magazines, DVDs, CDs and video games, as well as e-books, e-magazines and downloadable audiobooks.

The digital collection contains over 10,380 items.
