Local Collections, Events and Artwork @ Your Library
Exhibit cases are available at both of the Libraries for displaying a variety of local talents, collections and events. Do you have some artwork you’d like to exhibit? A collection of items you’d like to display? An event you’d like to promote, or a month to celebrate? The display cases are enclosed in glass, so items are protected yet visible. A few examples of former displays include: Star Wars paraphernalia, a music box collection, Master Gardeners, Festival of Science, origami, home-made dolls, and author and publisher displays. The East Flagstaff Community Library also has gallery space available for local artists to hang their 2D works. Interested in booking a display?

Have a Book Group? Get a Kit of Books!
Frustrated that you can’t find enough copies of a book for your discussion group? Tired of the responsibility of having to come up with discussion questions and author research? The library has a solution. We have over 75 titles available in Book Club Kits that include eight copies of the book, a discussion guide, and author information. Book Club Kits are available to check out from the downtown library for 60 days so that your group has time to disperse the books to members, read the book, discuss, gather the books and return the kit.
