Arizona City Library Closed for Remodeling |
|
The Arizona City Community Library will be closed for renovations beginning September 18. The new space, which will include a community meeting room, is expected to open in Spring 2023.
Arizona City Library's collection of materials will be suppressed from our online catalog during the closure, and the library will not be available as a pick-up location for held items. Patrons with holds to be picked up at Arizona City are encouraged to select a different library for pick-up. Arizona City patrons with materials checked out are encouraged to return them to one of our other libraries.

Do you and your family love playing all kinds of tabletop games?
Now, you can join like-minded community members to play a variety of games already available through the Library. The Maricopa Library and Cultural Center (MLCC) has an assortment of games for all ages, all difficulties, and all interests that will be available for play at each session. Many of the games will also be available for patrons to check out and continue playing at home. In addition, through sponsorship with Mr. E Comics, there will be an additional rotating assortment of games available for play at the event.
This is an open and unfacilitated program. Thus, as a reminder, those participants under the age of 12 will still require parental supervision per the MLCC site rules. Participants are also welcome to bring their own games to find some new local players/friends! (Please remember that this program is for all ages so mature games should be limited to mature players only.)
*While registration is not required, it is strongly recommended so we can assure there is enough space set aside for players.
