📖 About Eloy Santa Cruz Library
Eloy Santa Cruz Library is a joint-use public and school library co-located on the campus of Santa Cruz Valley Union High School at 1000 N Main Street, operated by the Pinal County Library District. The library traces its origins to 1947–48, when the Kearny Woman's Club launched a lending library at the Community Center through Arizona's Library Extension Service. It moved to the current purpose-built facility in 2012 and adopted its present name in recognition of the Santa Cruz Valley district it serves. With more than 14,000 items, 12 public internet computers, free Wi-Fi, and the full suite of Pinal County digital resources, the library is Eloy's hub for lifelong learning and digital skills training. It is also an official Northstar Digital Literacy assessment site, where residents can earn free computer-skills certifications at their own pace.
