Prescott Public Library, Public library in Prescott, Arizona.
Prescott Public Library occupies a multi-level building at 215 East Goodwin Street with broad collections of books, periodicals, and digital resources for the community. The facility provides access to computers, printers, scanning equipment, and online services along with a digital archive for visitors.
The library began in 1974, replacing an earlier Carnegie structure that served as Arizona territory's first public library. This transition brought the community into a newer building designed to serve a growing population.
Murals on the walls show local history and stories from the region. The digital collection honors the Granite Mountain Hotshots through thousands of memorial items that visitors can explore.
The library stands at 215 East Goodwin Street, and its 1974 building was renovated in 2006. Computers, printers, scanners and fax machines are available inside, and the collection includes audiobooks on CD, DVDs, CDs and video games alongside e-books and downloadable audiobooks. It is part of the Yavapai Library Network.
In 2014 the library opened a digital museum of objects left at the tribute fence for the 19 Granite Mountain Hotshots after the Yarnell Hill Fire; the collection holds over 10,380 items, assembled with the Tribute Fence Preservation Project and the State Library's Arizona Memory Project.
