Libraries in Clarkdale

Clark Memorial Library is at 39 North 9th Street in Clarkdale. It is open Monday through Thursday from 1 p.m. to 5:30 p.m., and on Friday from 8 a.m. to noon, so the Friday hours are mornings only and the rest of the week is afternoons. It is closed on Saturday and Sunday. The phone number is (928) 634-5423. Because the open window each day is short, call before making the drive, especially around holidays. Worth asking on that call: how to get a card, whether computers and printing are available, and what programs run for children.

The Cottonwood Public Library sits at 100 South 6th Street in Cottonwood. It is part of the Yavapai Library Network, so a card issued here works at other member libraries and items can move between them. Wireless internet is available in the building. The phone number is (928) 634-7559. Opening times, story hours and meeting room rules change, so call or check ctwpl.info before going. Ask what you need to bring to get a card, since proof of address is usually part of it. Computers, printing and help finding a book are the sort of things staff can walk you through.
