The children’s storytime activities are among the most popular offered at Civic Center Library, providing early learning opportunities for kids ages 0-5. Unfortunately, space limitations mean children are frequently turned away.

Scottsdale Public Library and the Friends are collaborating to build a bigger, more technologically advanced storytime space. This will include:

• New furniture to keep children comfortable and engaged during story hour
• Improved materials and technology (smart TV, tablets) to supplement the storytelling experience
• An outdoor patio space to take advantage of Scottsdale’s great weather

While City of Scottsdale Capital Improvement funds are covering the actual room expansion, the Friends are looking to raise $35,000 to cover the above furnishings that will optimize the space.

You can support this effort with a tax-deductible donation to the Friends. You can also mail a donation to:
