History
* Opened in 1998 at Hamilton High School through a partnership with CUSD * Shared use facility serving south Chandler * 18,000 square feet In August of 1954, the five-year dream of the Chandler Junior Woman's Club became a reality when the doors of the Chandler Public Library were opened. The group conducted a door-to-door campaign to raise the necessary funds to construct the building ($5,560 total cost) and provide for a small collection of books. As evident in the abundance of support received, the entire community felt that it was important to have a library of its own. Once the doors were opened, the keys were turned over to the City of Chandler for continued operation.
