About the branch

With its breathtaking view of the Superstition Mountains, the Apache Junction Public Library is a welcoming destination providing education, technology, information, and entertainment, enriching the lives of individuals and families in our diverse county. Besides offering books and movies, the library offers services including a maker space, digitization services, proctoring, one-on-one technology assistance, and access to the Greater Phoenix Digital Library.

The library offers engaging events for adults and families, including age-appropriate programs for babies, toddlers, preschoolers, and school-age children. Fun Van by First Things First, based at AJPL, is a grant-funded program that provides parents around Pinal County with the tools they need to be their child's first and best teacher.

The Library is a Federal Document Depository with access to thousands of official government documents in person or online. The Library also participates in the Culture Pass program, giving cardholders access to museums, cultural institutions, and artistic performances in the Valley of the Sun.
