LOCAL BOOKSTORE FACES CLOSURE: Friends of the Sierra Vista Public Library put out the following appeal to the community this week on their Facebook page⬇️

AN URGENT APPEAL FROM
Friends of the Sierra Vista Library Bookstore
Est. 1973 2377 E Fry Blvd, Sierra Vista, AZ 85635(Behind Denny's Restaurant)

"For over fifty years, this little bookstore has been more than shelves and spines. It has been a sanctuary."
Since 1973, the Friends of the Sierra Vista Library Bookstore has been woven into the very fabric of this community. Tucked into the same mall as Spur Western Wear and Papa Murphy's, it has been the kind of place you stumble into on a Tuesday afternoon and leave an hour later, arms full, heart lighter — because that's what good bookstores do.

For children, it has been the place where a love of reading quietly took root. For seniors, a weekly ritual and a reason to get out of the house. For veterans, teachers, single parents stretching every dollar — a place where great books, CDs, DVDs, and other materials are within reach at prices that don't sting. And when the store turns a profit, every dollar goes right back to our local library, amplifying its mission to serve every member of this community.
This is not a corporation. There are no shareholders. This is neighbors helping neighbors — and right now, those neighbors need your help.

TIME-SENSITIVE

Without raising $40,000 by early spring 2026, this bookstore will be forced to close its doors permanently in June or July — ending over five decades of community service. The clock is running. The shelves are waiting. The story doesn't have to end here. We are not asking for much from any one person — just whatever you can spare. Five dollars. Twenty. A hundred. Every contribution, no matter the size, is a vote for the kind of community Sierra Vista wants to be: one where knowledge is accessible, where neighbors still gather, and where a quiet corner with a good book is never more than a short drive away. We are a 501(c)(3) organization (EIN 23-7305245) and you can reduce your Arizona state taxes dollar-for-dollar by donating to qualified charities (QCOs). For 2025, donations up to $495 (single)/$987 (joint) for QCOs.

We also need volunteers to help with online sales where we are receiving a good portion of our revenue. If you have a few hours a week, please come by the store and volunteer.

To donate or learn more, please reach out directly:
Chan Robertson
360-551-9680
Steve Conroy
520-266-0558

If this bookstore has ever given you anything — an afternoon of peace, a book that changed you, a place to simply belong — now is the moment to give something back.

🇺🇸 MAJOR WIN FOR SIERRA VISTA: NEW MISSION COMING TO FORT HUACHUCA 🇺🇸

In a significant development for Cochise County and the State of Arizona, Congressman Juan Ciscomani announced that United States Department of War has selected Fort Huachuca as the home of a new national security mission—marking a major milestone for the region and the nation’s defense strategy.

“This new mission is a win for Sierra Vista and Cochise County, a win for Arizona, and a win for our national security,” Ciscomani stated, emphasizing the long-term impact of the decision and the collaborative effort behind it.

A Legacy of Service, A Future of Innovation

With a history spanning nearly 150 years, Fort Huachuca has evolved from a 19th-century frontier cavalry post—once home to the legendary Buffalo Soldiers—into one of the most advanced military installations in the country.

Today, the Fort serves as a critical hub for intelligence and technology, housing key commands such as:
• U.S. Army Intelligence Center of Excellence
• Network Enterprise Technology Command
• Electronic Proving Ground

Strategic Location, Unmatched Capabilities

Located just 15 miles north of the U.S.-Mexico border, Fort Huachuca is the largest employer in Cochise County and offers a uniquely powerful combination of assets, including:
• 946 square miles of restricted airspace
• 2,500 square miles of protected electronic testing ranges

Its selection was further strengthened by a robust regional ecosystem that includes partnerships with University of Arizona, Raytheon, Northrop Grumman, and Honeywell—solidifying Southern Arizona as a key player in national defense innovation.

What This Means for Our Community

This announcement represents more than just a new mission—it signals continued growth, opportunity, and national recognition for Sierra Vista and the surrounding region. From economic impact to technological advancement, the benefits of this decision are expected to be felt for years to come.

As Ciscomani noted, Fort Huachuca’s “one-of-a-kind capabilities, location, and infrastructure made it the obvious choice.”

For a community deeply connected to the Fort, this is a moment of pride—and a powerful reminder of the vital role Cochise County plays in safeguarding our nation.

Stay with CoolFMLive for updates as more details about this mission are released.
