📖 About Pinetop-Lakeside Public Library
Pinetop-Lakeside was formed in 1984 when the neighboring communities of Pinetop and Lakeside merged, and the public library at 1595 Johnson Drive has served as the town's community anchor ever since. At an elevation of approximately 6,800 feet, it is a rare Arizona library surrounded by tall Ponderosa pines rather than desert cactus, and residents and summer visitors alike rely on it for books, public computers, Wi-Fi, and programming through the year. As a member of the Navajo County Library District, a Pinetop-Lakeside card unlocks the shared Discover catalog — spanning all 14 district branches — as well as Libby/OverDrive eBooks and hoopla digital content. The library serves both full-time residents of this small mountain town (population ~4,000) and the many desert-dwellers who escape summer heat in the White Mountains each year.
