By Douglas Long • Lake Powell Chronicle

Page Public Library has been named Library Journal’s 2023 Best Small Library in America. The prestigious annual award, sponsored by Ingram Content Group, was created in 2005 to recognize the exemplary work of libraries serving populations under 25,000.

The Library Journal’s announcement of the award, released last week, cited the library’s “sustaining work” as a “lifeline” for the City of Page, “serving adults, students, and businesses in creative and critical ways.”
