📖 About Duncan Public Library
Duncan is a small Greenlee County town of roughly 700 residents in the Gila River valley, surrounded by copper-mining country made famous by nearby Freeport-McMoRan operations at Morenci. The Duncan Public Library has served this community as one of three branches of the Greenlee County Library System alongside the Clifton and Blue libraries. Located on Highway 75 just across the bridge from downtown, it provides free internet access, public computers, copying, faxing, and color photocopying — essential services in a rural area with limited commercial alternatives. Beyond the circulating collection of books, audiobooks, magazines, DVDs, and e-books, the library hosts a seed library for local gardeners, offers free GED pretesting, and maintains a public meeting area. A 24-hour book drop makes returns convenient for patrons with daytime work schedules. The library's staggered weekday hours — morning shifts Tuesday and Thursday, afternoon and evening hours Monday, Wednesday, and Friday — help working residents fit a library visit into their schedule.
