Storytime Room Expansion
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 of the Scottsdale Public Library collaborated to build a bigger, more technologically advanced storytime space, which officially opened to the public on May 12, 2022 as the SkyRoom.
​
Phase 1 of this project involved expanding the space from 1,600 to 3,428 square feet and adding technology including a state-of-the-art audio/visual system, a flat screen Smart TV, and iPad tablets.

City of Scottsdale Capital Improvement funded the majority of construction costs, while the Friends raised $28,000 with support from organizations including Fiesta Bowl Charities and Literary Society of the Southwest.
​​
Phase 2 of this project furnished the new space to optimize the learning experience for children and families. The Friends purchased seating for the room.
