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.

 

QC Library: He Stands in the Sun: The Life, Legacy, & Art of Kiowa Artist T.C. Cannon

Adults

Description:  T.C. Cannon is considered one of the most talented Native American artists of the 20th century whose paintings continue to influence new generations of Native artists. As a natural born innovator and visionary Kiowa and Caddo tribal artist T.C. Cannon was a tour de force. His talents as a poet, musician, and artist ended abruptly in 1978 at the age of 31 after a fateful car crash. Cannon utilized striking color combinations, bold juxtapositions, and artfully portrayed motifs, irony, and humor deeply rooted in his cultural heritage. “He Who Stands in the Sun” or Pai-doung-u-day is T.C. Cannon’s Kiowa Indian name. This presentation will explore T.C. Cannon’s life and heritage, and the depth of his art, skill, and paramount accomplishments as a multitalented artist.
