A Little History:
Viney Jones was a Florence Librarian that worked for the town of Florence from 1978 to 1997. She ran the old Florence library out of what is now the Florence Senior Center at 330 N. Pinal Street. Viney Jones died in 2001 and to honor her name and dedication to her craft, the Florence Town Council voted to name the library portion of the Town of Florence Library and Community Center the Viney Jones Memorial Library.

Fun for the kids:
