Libraries in Cottonwood

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.

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.
