History

Arizona Statute provides for the establishment of the Arizona State Library, Archives and Public Records [ASLAPR] by the Legislature and outlines the library’s duties.  The library provides services through seven divisions, which include braille and talking books, history and archives, library development, museums, record management, research library, and the state law library.  In addition, the library staff provides training, technical assistance, and resource management throughout Arizona. 

 

HB 2206 makes a one time allocation of $1 million to ASLAPR in an effort to protect Arizona’s resources and invest in its libraries and museums so that they will help expand the economy.  HB 2206 provides for ASLAPR and the Arizona Humanities Council to provide the training and resources to enable more libraries and museums to participate in the economic development of Arizona.
