Our first day open, nearly 1,100 people came in to check out not only the library, but also over 1,200 items. The new Library boasts an enclosed Reading Room, Study Room, Arizona and Native American Collections room, a Program Room, and a Family restroom. Show Low Public Library also has the first fiber optic metro-ethernet connection in the County, and offers more public access computers and outlets for people with laptops. An Open House and ribbon-cutting was held Tuesday, August 17. Local artists from the Arts Alliance of the White Mountains displayed their talent, and local authors signed their books.

McNary Community Library Closed
Due to heavy rains and a severely leaking roof, McNary Community Library has had to close indefinitely. It was evacuated on Thursday, Aug. 5, and the materials stored. Patrons may return all checked out materials to the McNary Post Office, Larson Memorial Public Library in Lakeside, Whiteriver Public Library or any library in Navajo County.
If anyone has any suggestions for a new location for the McNary library, please contact us! We don’t want the community to be without a library and access to computers and the Internet!
County Librarian Geneva Durkee with Tara Vataha from the McNary Community Library and Carmen Perry from the Whiteriver Public Library and lots of willing workers relocated two truckloads from the library to temporary storage in Whiteriver. Larson Memorial Public Library in Pinetop-Lakeside celebrated its 10th anniversary of the library’s expansion with an open house on July 29.
