Library History:
Completed in November 2008, The Queen Creek library was the first municipal building in Queen Creek designed and constructed with green building features and has been LEED Gold certified by the U.S. Green Building Council. The library was featured in the January 2009 edition of Cities Go Green magazine, a publication that focuses how local governments can become sustainable as quickly and effectively as possible.
The library was designed to provide a gathering place for people of all ages. It includes the Mary Lou Fulton Children's Center, Teen Oasis, general reading areas, public computers, study rooms, conference rooms and Town recreation programming space. The Town received a $1 million grant from Fulton Homes for the construction of design elements in the children’s and teen’s sections of the new library.
The library is a partnership between the Town of Queen Creek and the Maricopa County Library District. The Queen Creek branch library provides materials in all formats as well as adult and juvenile programming.

The Hohokam had a flourishing culture in the Salt River Valley, with villages, temple mounds, ball courts, trade routes, and the largest and most sophisticated irrigation system in the prehistoric New World. While Pueblo Grande and Casa Grande are famous, few people know that the Hohokam also settled in the San Tan Valley. In the Spring of 2013, archaeologists working with the Department of Transportation excavated a hohokam site at Ellsworth & Riggs, preserving many artifacts and expanding our knowledge of this ancient culture. Mark Chenault and Jacobs Eng will be discussing the excavation process as well as sharing examples of Hohokam pottery.
The Arizona Archaeological Society was founded in 1964 as a nonprofit corporation for the purpose of investigating, preserving and protecting the prehistoric heritage of Arizona. Monthly presentations are free to the public and feature a noted Archaeologist! Lectures are held the second Wednesday of each month (September through May) at San Tan Historical Society Museum, 20425 S Old Ellsworth Rd, Queen Creek, AZ.
