📖 About Fredonia Public Library
Fredonia was established in 1886 and sits on the Arizona Strip — the strip of land north of the Colorado River, cut off from the rest of Arizona by the Grand Canyon. The town has long served as a gateway to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon, though U.S. Route 89 was rerouted around Glen Canyon Dam in 1960, shifting some traffic away from the community. With a population of about 1,300 and the nearest sizable town being Kanab, Utah (just 7 miles north across the state line), the Fredonia Public Library plays an outsized role in the local community. It maintains its own online catalog at catalog.fredoniapubliclibraryaz.org and provides access to the Arizona State Library's Reading Arizona digital collection. Open Monday through Thursday with extended evening hours until 6pm and a shorter Friday session, the library is the cultural and intellectual hub of this remote Coconino County town.
