❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Can I get a library card if I live outside Kingman city limits — say in the county's unincorporated areas?
Yes. The Mohave County Library District serves all county residents, not just those within Kingman city limits. Any resident of Mohave County can get a free library card at any branch by presenting a photo ID and proof of their current mailing address — a driver's license, utility bill, or personal check works. Your card is valid at all 11 district branches.
Does the bookmobile reach the remote communities of Mohave County — places like Meadview or Chloride?
Yes. The Mohave County Library District runs a bookmobile based at the Kingman Branch that travels to schools, senior centers, and community locations throughout the county. Mohave County spans over 13,000 square miles, so the bookmobile plays a key role in reaching residents who are far from any branch. Check the district's bookmobile schedule page or call (928) 692-5714 for current stops and times.
Kingman is on Historic Route 66 — does the library have local history or genealogy resources for researching Route 66 and Mohave County families?
Yes. The library provides in-library access to Ancestry.com and NewsBank HeritageHub, which covers U.S. obituaries and death notices from 1704 to present, including Kingman and Mohave County records. For deeper local history, the Mohave Museum of History and Arts (also in Kingman) maintains pioneer family files, census records, old city directories, and newspaper archives dating to the Mohave County Miner, founded in 1882.
What free digital resources can Mohave County residents use from home?
With your library card you can access Libby (eBooks, audiobooks, and magazines), the Reading Arizona statewide collection of Arizona-focused digital titles, Gale research databases, Britannica Online, NoveList for reading recommendations, Comics Plus, and Brainfuse for free live tutoring daily 1–11 pm MST. Apply for a card at any branch or online at catalog.mohavecountylibrary.us.
