If you’re interested in history, you’ll have to pay a visit to the Arizona Museum of Natural History. Located in Mesa’s downtown district, the museum is billed as the “premier natural history museum in Arizona,” and offers guests the chance to experience Arizona’s ancient past, from the dinosaur periods through the first inhabitants of the Southwest.

The Emily Center provides needed resources to the community and the entire state by participating in the Phoenix Public Library’s interlibrary loan program. This allows libraries in other areas to request books or other media that the Emily Center has for their patrons.
