RIMROCK, AZ – To better serve the needs of the Beaver Creek/Rimrock community and the school district, the Yavapai County Free Library District (YCFLD) is excited to announce an increase of hours at the Beaver Creek Public and School Library beginning Monday, August 4, 2025.

 

The new hours will be Monday through Thursday 7:30 AM – 5 PM and Friday and Saturday 9 AM – 5 PM, representing a 29% increase in hours.

 

The expanded schedule reflects the Yavapai County Free Library District Board of Directors’ commitment to increasing the availability of this critical community service. The Beaver Creek Library is open to the public during all operating hours, which will now offer earlier weekday access for students, teachers, and residents before school begins. The two-hour increase on Saturdays provide additional opportunities for the public to visit the library outside of traditional work hours.

 

With one of the highest numbers of items checked-out in the district, especially during the school year, Beaver Creek was an ideal location for expanded hours. The new schedule allows for double staff coverage, which is essential for improving and expanding services. Since becoming a passport acceptance facility in February 2025, the library has already processed twenty-five passport applications. This extra coverage lets one staff member focus on one-on-one services like notarizations and passport processing, while the other provides more traditional library services.

 

Beaver Creek was selected as one of three YCFLD locations to receive additional hours along with the Dewey-Humboldt Town Library and the Seligman Public Library.

 

 

 

The Yavapai County Free Library District (YCFLD) was established in 1987 by the Yavapai County Board of Supervisors and operates fifteen branch libraries, mostly in unincorporated communities. The YCFLD also partially funds individual municipal libraries and fully funds the Yavapai Library Network (YLN) operations, supporting 57 public, academic, school and museum libraries in Yavapai County.
