    Friends Partners with Scottsdale Barnes & Noble for Holiday Events

    We are excited to partner with the Scottsdale Barnes & Noble for some fun events in November and December. The Friends of the Scottsdale Public Library will be at the store on certain dates to help you wrap your holiday gifts. Plus, during the store’s book fair, some of your purchases will help us fund programs and facility improvements at Scottsdale’s libraries.

    Here’s a rundown of the events:

    Gift Wrapping

    The Friends will be offering gift wrapping services on Monday, December 9 from 2pm to 9pm. We’d love to see you there!

    Book Fair

    The book fair will start on November 30 and run through December 8. All you have to do is stop by one of our library locations to pick up a flyer.

    Present the flyer to the cashier when you make your purchase and a percentage of your purchase will go to the Friends of the Scottsdale Public Library.

    We’d also like to invite you to some special events taking place as part of the book fair. Mark your calendars!

    The Scottsdale Barnes & Noble is located in the Scottsdale Fiesta Shopping Center (10500 North 90 Street) in Scottsdale – near the corner of Pima Rd. and Shea Blvd.

    If you can’t make it to the store, shop online from December 8 to December 13. Visit bn.com/bookfairs and use the code 1125123.

    Authors & Appetizers 2013: An Evening of Mystery

    The Friends of the Scottsdale Public Library would like to thank everyone who came out to Authors & Appetizers on Friday. It was a great event filled with food, fun and fiction!

    Event attendees were treated to an evening of mystery with best-selling author J.A. Jance and award-winning author Susan Cummins Miller. The authors spoke about the writing process and shared the personal experiences that led to the creation of certain characters and situations depicted in their novels.

    Following the program, fans of the authors were able to have their books signed. Books were also available for purchase thanks to The Poisoned Pen.

    The evening concluded with a raffle, where some of our attendees won amazing prize packages.

    Thank you to all who attended and all who helped to make this event possible. We’ll see you next year for Authors & Appetizers 2014!
