Clark Memorial Library

Clarkdale Historical Society and Museum sits at 900 1st North Street, Clarkdale, AZ 86324. The phone number is (928) 649-1198. It is open Wednesday through Saturday, and the times are not the same every day. Wednesday runs 10:00 to 13:00. Thursday, Friday and Saturday run 11:00 to 14:00. So it is closed Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, and every open day is a short afternoon window. Plan around that. Map records tag it as a museum. A listing from the cottonwood-chamber-directory suggests it also belongs under nonprofits. We do not have an admission price, a website, or a description of what is on display, so call ahead if that matters to you.

Clarkdale Public Works runs the town's water utility and its wastewater treatment plant from 890 Main Street, and it also administers the curbside trash and recycling contract. The office is open 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 8 a.m. to noon on Friday, so a Friday afternoon call will not be answered. The main number is (928) 639-2450, and there is a separate emergency line on (928) 639-2520, which is the one for a main break or a backup out of hours. Billing is on the town site.

Saint Cecilia Catholic Mission is a roman catholic church at 850 Main Street in Clarkdale. The map data marks it as a christian place of worship, and a mission usually means it is served from a larger parish rather than having its own full-time staff. We do not have a phone number for it, which matters, because there is no number here to call about service times. We also do not have office hours or a mailing address beyond the street. Ask at a nearby parish if you need the current schedule, and we will add times once we can confirm them.

The Dream West Caboose serves food at 900 Main St in Clarkdale. It is open every day from 8 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., so it works for breakfast and lunch but not for dinner. The number is (928) 634-0334. Being on Main Street, it is easy to pair with a walk around the older part of town or a stop on the way to the river. Menus and short notice changes tend to appear on the Facebook and Instagram pages. Call ahead on holidays, and ask about to go orders if you are heading out for the day.

10-12 Lounge is a bar at 910 Main Street in downtown Clarkdale. It opens at 10 in the morning every day of the week and stays open until midnight. There is seating outside when the weather is nice. The website lists events and specials, so it is a good place to look before a visit to see what is going on that week. To ask a question, call (928) 295-0345 or send an email to info@1012lounge.com. Hours and details can change, so it is a good idea to call and check before you make the trip.

The Camp Verde Community Library is on Black Bridge Loop Road in Camp Verde, at number 130. It is open Monday through Thursday from 9 in the morning until 8 at night, and Friday and Saturday from 9 until 5. The town runs it as a department, and the library pages on the town website list programs and services. The phone number is (928) 554-8380. Evening hours four days a week make it usable after work or school. Call to ask about a library card, about computer and internet use, and about story times or other events 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.

Sedona Public Library

The public library for Sedona sits at 3250 White Bear Road. A library card usually opens up more than shelves: computers, printing, meeting rooms, story times for small children, and books and audio you can borrow from home. Hours and program schedules are not listed here, and they change with the season and with holidays, so check the library website or call (928) 282-7714 before you make the drive. Ask about a card if you live in the area, and ask what proof of address is needed to get one. Ask too whether a visitor can use the computers.
