Join us in congratulating our Security Worker TJ Watkins on his incredible 40-year work anniversary with the City of Apache Junction! TJ dedicated an astounding 23 years to serving our community with the Apache Junction Police Department, followed by 17 years as our faithful Security Worker at the library.

If you’ve ever been to Apache Junction Public Library, you’ve probably seen TJ! His friendly smile and helpful demeanor make everyone feel welcome and safe in the library. We often have patrons come in just to chat with TJ.

When asked about his years of service, TJ wanted to thank everyone for making his 40-year anniversary memorable, and he says he hopes his next 40 years will be just as exciting… NOPE! Thank you TJ for all your years of service!
