📖 About Page Public Library
Page Public Library sits in the heart of a city that did not exist until 1957, when the federal government built a housing camp for workers constructing Glen Canyon Dam. The town was named for John C. Page, Bureau of Reclamation commissioner from 1936 to 1943, and officially incorporated in 1975 after the dam's completion. Today roughly 7,400 residents call Page home — nearly 40 percent of them members of the Navajo Nation — and the library serves both the local community and the three million annual visitors who come to see Lake Powell and Antelope Canyon. In 2023 Library Journal selected Page Public Library as the Best Small Library in America, recognising its children's meal programs, community Wi-Fi, digital-skills resources and its role as one of the most visited public gathering spaces in the region.
