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.

Teens

Ages 12-18. the Young Adult Library Services Association (YALSA) SELECTED Perry Branch Library as one of 16 public & school libraries to serve as official book groups for YALSA's Teens' Top Ten. The Teens' Top Ten is an ongoing project in which publishers of young adult books provide advanced reader copies to teen book discussion groups in libraries. In exchange, teen readers evaluate books from more than 30 participating publishers. Bookhype started its two year term in October 2010 & will finish its duties in 2012. Teens that participate in bookhype at Perry Branch Library will also choose the nominees for the Teen's Top Ten, in which teens nationwide vote for their favorite books each year. The nominations are released in March each year; The Teens' Top 10 List results are announced during Teen Read Week, in October. Interested in Joining?
