The Carnegie Center is a symbol of continuity. In an era when so many places look alike, this unique building demonstrates the resilience and viability of its neighborhood.

Today, the Carnegie Center is being returned to its role as a multi-service center that will serve workers and residents in downtown Phoenix and the eastern Capitol Mall.

HOURS
Monday - Friday
8:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.

The Arizona Center for the Book is one of 50 state affiliates for the Center of the Book in the Library of Congress. The goal of state centers is to carry the Center for the Book’s mission of “stimulating public interest in
books, reading, literacy and libraries to the state and local level.”

Programs include:

  • ONEBOOKAZ – a state-wide literacy project
  • Letters About Literature – a national reading promotion program of the Center for the Book in the Library of Congress, presented in partnership with Target and the Arizona Center for the Book.






The Arizona Women’s Hall of Fame program pays tribute posthumously, and honors in perpetuity, the remarkable women whose contributions to the arts, athletics, business, education, government, the humanities, philanthropy and science, have played a significant role in the history of Arizona and provide a significant contribution to the historical record of the State of Arizona.
