Globe Public Library is located at 339 S. Broad Street. The phone number is 928-425-6111.

Globe Public Library has moved to Phase 4. The Globe Public Library staff is happy to announce that starting May 3, we will no longer have an occupancy limit. We are still asking you to wear your mask and social distance. Hand sanitizing stations are still available. If you are sick, please stay home. We are happy to renew items over the phone. We will also be offering limited hybrid programming, meaning we will have programs where the number is limited by the ability to socially distance participants. We will still film a Facebook live so that people can pick-up Grab and Go Kits and work along with the video on Facebook.

Globe Public Library has a patron survey. We want to learn what we can do better to serve our community. Your constructive feedback is welcome. All surveys can be picked up at the following locations: Globe Public Library, Gila County Historical Museum, Cobre Valley Center for the Arts, Globe Active Adult Center and Bullion Plaza Museum or completed online https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdYVI8KK_-jpbTGzn0-pHVus5B43rDJn1ULIKgxF_-gbLOOSg/viewform?usp=sf_link.
