Our next restaurant fundraiser will take place at a family favorite location, Chick-fil-A, on Wednesday, March 15 from 4pm to 7pm.
The Friends will receive 20 percent of all orders placed via the Chick-fil-A mobile app, Chick-fil-A One, during this period.
This will work differently than other Friends restaurant fundraisers, in that you don’t need to present a flyer when you order. Here is how to participate:
The Chick-fil-A One app gives you points for every order you make, so frequent customers are likely already using the app to purchase. Thank you for supporting Scottsdale Public Library with this fundraiser.
During the month of November, you can participate in our Krispy Kreme fundraiser. Enjoy delicious donuts while benefiting the Friends of the Scottsdale Public Library through our Digital Dozens campaign.
Visit https://tinyurl.com/spldonuts to purchase a dozen original glazed donuts between now and November 30 for $12. Once you order, you will receive a non-expiring voucher to pick-up your freshly cooked dozen at any Krispy Kreme location (including the store at 7055 E Shea Blvd in Scottsdale near Mustang Library).
The Friends will receive $4.50 of your purchase (over 33 percent). We have set a goal of 100 dozens sold in hopes of raising $450 toward Scottsdale Public Library programs. There is no limit on how many dozens you order.
Share this fundraiser with friends and family and help us meet our goal. You’ll enjoy some delicious (and famous) donuts while benefiting a great cause.
Our next restaurant fundraiser will take place Monday, February 28 from 3pm to 9pm at Portillo’s in Scottsdale, where 20 percent of your purchase will benefit Scottsdale Library.
Portillo’s specializes in Chicago-style food, including hot dogs and Italian beef. It also features salads and pasta dishes.
Here is how to participate in this fundraiser:
Our restaurant fundraisers brought in over $1,300 during 2021, and we appreciate all support as we continue raising money for the library.
The Mustang Library branch officially turns 30 years old on June 13.
While it may not have the visual recognition of the Arabian branch or the Old Town history of Civic Center, it’s the second oldest branch in Scottsdale and also the second biggest at over 31,000 square feet.
It also provided new innovations to Library patrons like drive-up window service for check-outs and returns.
If you haven’t been to Mustang in awhile, stop by to celebrate its 30 years as a mainstay in the Scottsdale community.
With winter visitors and beautiful weather already started, the Scottsdale Public Library has plenty of fun events on tap for spring 2017.
On March 4, the Civic Center branch will feature the 4th Ultimate Play Date from 9am to 2pm. This event is catered to children ages 0-8, and will include Play Zones specializing in everything from music & dance to science & technology. There will also be a grilled cheese food truck. All activities are free of charge.
From March 27 to April 1, Mustang Library will be hosting Garden Week. Every day will have free special events, including a flower show, presentations from the Butterfly Wonderland and the Maricopa Audubon Society and tips on landscaping, urban farming and Xeriscape. It will culminate on April 1 with a book sale.
From April 9 to April 15, celebrate National Library Week. This annual national celebration has been promoting appreciation of our local libraries since 1958. The theme for 2017 will once again be “Libraries Transform,” and two-time World Cup champion Julie Foudy will serve as honorary chair.
Lastly, be on the lookout for the first Books2Go installation at Chaparral Park in March. Shaped like a doghouse to match the dog park where it’s located, it will be a micro-library supporting the “take a book, leave a book” system. No library card is required to use this program.
