📖 About San Lucy District Library
San Lucy Village was established as the Gila Bend Indian Reservation in 1882 and relocated to its current site one mile north of Gila Bend after the Painted Rock Dam flooded the original land in the 1960s. Today the village is home to roughly 300 residents, almost all Tohono O'odham, governed by the San Lucy District of the Tohono O'odham Nation. The San Lucy District Library at 1125 C Street anchors the district's Education, Library & Recreation department, providing books, CDs, DVDs, and online resources through its YouSeeMore catalog to community members and visitors. The library is part of the broader Tohono O'odham Nation library network, which includes the Venito Garcia Library and Archives in Sells. A free library card opens access to the catalog and circulating collection; staff can help patrons search the shared network for items not held locally.
