About This Branch:


The Gilbert Branch Library was established in 1988 in the old Gilbert Town Hall, operating 16 hours per week. In 1995, the name was changed to the Gilbert-Summit Branch Library. A new 2,400 sq. ft. building, funded by County Library Bonds, was opened in March of 1996. The library is open 33 hours per week with one full-time and two part-time employees.


In 2007, again using County funding, a 1,600 sq. ft. addition was constructed. This addition provided more and separate space for the children's collection as well as a 35-seat meeting room. Additional Internet computers were added for public use.


A wide variety of materials, information, and services are available, including access to the Internet and a wide variety of online databases. There are also a number of programs presented for children and adults.
