📖 About Snowflake-Taylor Public Library
Snowflake was established in 1878 by Erastus Snow and William Jordan Flake, and the town's name — a portmanteau of its two founders' surnames — is a point of local pride. The adjacent community of Taylor developed alongside it, and the two towns share a public library at 418 S 4th West. The library operates under the Navajo County Library District, giving Snowflake-Taylor cardholders access to the full district Discover catalog spanning all 14 member branches. Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday offer extended evening hours until 6pm, and Saturday morning hours make the library accessible to families and working residents. The library's online catalog is accessible at stpl-nclddiscover.na4.iiivega.com, and digital borrowing through Libby and hoopla is available around the clock. Snowflake's deep Mormon heritage — including the Jesse N. Smith Historic House on the National Register of Historic Places — gives the library a community that values education and literacy.
