Sierra Vista Public Library
The mission of the Sierra Vista Public Library is to provide free access to information and services for all members of the community.
Library History
The Sierra Vista Public Library was created in 1958 when a small group of volunteers gathered together 600 donated books and arranged them on a fire truck running board at the old fire station on Sherbundy Drive. At the end of the day, or whenever a fire occurred, the books were placed in wooden boxes and stored in a fire station closet.
In time the small, but growing, collection was placed in a 1,900 square foot building on Sherbundy Street. This building served as the Sierra Vista Public Library for several years until the city outgrew it.
In 1982, the City Council authorized the construction of a new library at 2950 E. Tacoma Street. This new 4,500 square foot building was expanded twice during the next six years to a total of 10,500 square feet.
In 1997 the City Council agreed to construct a new library building to be placed just east of City Hall. This beautiful building, designed by Tucson architects Dave Burns and David Wald-Hopkins, offers over 31,000 square feet of modern library services
