Pinal County is pleased to announce that the new Public Library in San Tan Valley will open its doors to the public at 10 am on Tuesday, August 10th, 2021.
The library is the first in Pinal County to be run by the County. It will feature over 20,000 items for loan - from books for kids, teens, and adults as well as movies, digital media, and even board games. All the books are brand new, and highlights include a robust collection of young adult books, classic literature, as well as popular materials, and a selection reaffirming the great diversity of Arizona.
The San Tan Valley Library will offer programming for all ages, and staff are eager to bring more services and programs to the community. The San Tan Valley Library is the latest library to abstain from charging fines for late materials, so residents can breathe easily.
Library cards are free for Pinal County residents, who will just need to present photo identification showing current address (or a utility bill or school mail with current ID).
Pinal County District 2 Supervisor Mike Goodman expressed his delight with the library on the verge of opening its doors to the residents of San Tan Valley, "Expanding our public library services into San Tan Valley has been in the works for some time. We are excited for this new chapter and consider it a solid stepping stone in the right direction by providing more services and amenities to the area. We look forward to seeing the community come together and utilize the space as a place of gathering and growth!"
Pinal County Library District Director Alex Conrad added, "I am grateful to all of our team, both here within the Library and across our County departments, for helping to make this vision a reality. We can't wait to finally be able to bring library services to San Tan Valley."
Erik Surber will be managing the San Tan Valley library and says staff look forward to serving the residents of San Tan Valley, “I’m drawn to San Tan Valley because it is energized, youthful, and growing so quickly. We strive to be worthy of such a wonderful and vibrant community.”
