Thanks to you...

Hard to believe it has been one year since the Library launched this electronic newsletter. If you have been following all along we thank you. If you are a new customer to our system we welcome you and hope that you will enjoy all that the Scottsdale Public Library has offer. We are sincerely appreciative of all of our wonderful customers and if you happen to be one of the 26,000 that joined the library last year, know that you are now part of one of the best things in Scottsdale.

If this turkey knows more about...

current technology than you...we suggest you visit our first annual Tech Fair at the Civic Center Library. If you only make calls on your cell phone, are baffled by Wi-fi, or cannot tell us what a Wii is… we suggest you attend as well. It will be fun, stress free and enlightening. We promise.

Mouse got your tongue

A constructive use of your teen's time…

Send your teen on down to the library to make a Holiday Gift Craft (ah, jazzy title) We'll keep 'em busy with wire, beads and glue and they'll come home with a cool picture frame (that they can give to you as a gift…) Registration Recommended.
