Payson Public Library is a fantastic and friendly place with a fantastic kids area featuring blocks, toys, puzzles, games, and many books. The facility is clean, neat, and well-organized. It offers a great selection of books to borrow, purchase, or get for free, alongside almost daily activities and information on local events. The staff is the nicest, most helpful, friendly, and fantastic, creating a welcoming atmosphere. The outstanding Arizona Room is a must-visit, well-stocked with historical reference books. While there is some concern about loitering near the entrance and bathrooms, the library remains a clean, helpful, and awesome community resource for computers, printing, and family visits.
The only issue is some of the homeless who loiter by the entrance and bathrooms who pose a potential threat to local families. That’s a problem everywhere though.

My first visit today. Nicest staff people. They thought of ways to help me without my even asking. Doesn’t seem like a library as much as a friend's home. And a great selection of books!
