The Summer Reading Program "All Together Now" is here!
This year's Summer Reading Program is getting started at libraries throughout Pinal County. Children and teens can register at their local library, then keep track of the time they spend reading this summer. Completing the program can earn a prize! Some libraries have a program for adults, too.
Plus, many of our libraries are offering special events to coincide with summer reading theme in the weeks ahead. You can find them listed on our online calendar. (Tip: Try using the "event type" filter to limit the view to just Summer Reading Program events.)
Each library runs their Summer Reading Program a little bit differently, so be sure to check with your local library to find all the details you need.

The Pinal County Library District website provides a catalog of all of our library materials. Patrons can download e-books and e-audiobooks, and access a suite of research databases.
But what if you can't find what you're looking for, or something doesn't seem to work right?
Just like at your local library, you can Ask a Librarian! Just click the "Ask A Question" button in the center of the screen on our homepage and fill out the online form. Send us a description of what you need or what went wrong, and staff at Pinal County Library District will get back to you by phone or email (your choice) to help troubleshoot and resolve the issue.
Please note that staff are only available during regular office hours, Monday-Friday, 8:00 am to 5:00 pm. Questions submitted after hours or on weekends will be answered the following business day.
