Payson Public Library, 328 N. McLane Road.
Map & Directions


 

 

MISSION:  The Library Friends of Payson, Inc., is a private, nonprofit organization whose mission is to provide financial and community support to the Payson Public Library. We believe that public libraries comprise an integral aspect of community identity and development, and we support endeavors that encourage literacy and free inquiry within the individual, the family, and society.

 

HISTORY:  Like many of Rim Country's finest service organizations, "The Library Friends" were established as a 'grassroots' effort to support the growing Payson Public Library.

We have evolved from just providing books -- to purchasing computers and other equipment & funding Public Library programs that would not otherwise be covered in its Town and County budget.

 

SERVICES WE PROVIDE: We offer a Free Library Services for Homebound Individuals - through our "Library Buddy Program." We also purchase books and supplies for Payson Public Library.

 

PROJECTS WE SPONSOR:  We are an Annual Rim Country Regional Chamber of Commerce Business Showcase participant.

We maintain the LFOP bookstore (a used bookstore in the Payson Public Library). Staffing is done entirely by volunteers.

 

 

Library Friends of Payson for Monday, May 21, 2012

 

The numbers don’t lie. One out of three senior citizens has hearing loss. One out of ten people experiences hearing loss during their life. There are more than 700,000 deaf and hard of hearing individuals living in the state of Arizona. These statistics, and more, can be found at www.acdhh.org. Could you, or the person sitting next to you, benefit from a FREE statewide program to assist with hearing related challenges?

 

Vicki Thompson, of the Arizona Commission for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing, will be speaking about the FREE amplified and captioned telephone program offered through the State of Arizona at Payson Public Library on Monday, May 21st at 10:30am. This Library Friends of Payson sponsored event is FREE to the public and open to all who may benefit from attending. Join the group for light refreshments and a brief business meeting at 10:00am. For Questions, call Bessie Watson, Payson Public Library, at 474-9260.

During May the Library Friends of Payson Bookstore will be honoring mothers with a 2 for 1 sale of all hardback books. Included in this sale will be fiction, biograpy, fiction, religion, inspirational, art, craft, cooking, gardening,and travel books.

 

Come in and find treasures by such prominent authors as; Danielle Steel, Mary Higgins Clark, Nora Roberts, Sandra Brown, Barbara Bradford, Judith Krantz, Sue Grafton, Patricia Cornwall, and many more.

 

Given the Bookstore’s already low prices, this two for one special is an incredible bargain. Consider giving mom a couple of good books on Mothers Day along with a few uninterrupted hours to enjoy them. She will be delighted with your thoughtfulness.

As June approaches, parents are concerned with keeping children’s reading skills active during summer vacation. The Bookstore has a great selection of children’s books to help promote summer reading.

 

Currently, there is a large supply of Young Adult hardback books which are being offered during May as a two for one special. This is a great opportunity to keep older children reading over summer break.

Every penny spent in the Library Friends of Payson Bookstore is reinvested in the Payson Library to support the purchase of new material and many special programs. Therefore, Bookstore customers not only benefit from one of the best values to be found in Payson, they also support an important civic institution.

 

Bookstore stock changes daily, so the wise shopper visits frequently. The Bookstore is located to the right of the circulation desk just inside the Payson Public Library, 328 N. McLane Road.
