Prescott Public Library

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.

You can use computers, printers, and scanning equipment at the facility, plus borrow Wi-Fi devices to take home with you. Video streaming services and recreational gear are also on hand to support your visit.

The building sits at a notably high elevation in a region where altitude shapes daily life and experience. Few visitors realize how much the collection reflects the particular character of this mountain community.
