For many children, this allows them a rare chance to experience stress free reading; they're able to relax and having fun while reading! All of these elements work together to increase a child's motivation to read, which is an essential element in becoming a successful reader. Come read to Winston in the children's area on the first and third Tuesday of the month. Come read to Merlin in the children's area on the second and fourth Tuesday of the month. How does Read to a Dog work? Kids come to library during Read to a Dog and select a book to read to a furry friend. All of the dogs and handlers who participate have been certified as therapy dogs by an accredited organization. Find out more about Read to a Dog. Thinking of adopting a pet?

Join acclaimed local historian and author Greg McNamee for an engaging journey into Arizona’s past with his talk, “Traveling Arizona with the WPA.” Discover how, in 1935, the Works Progress Administration (WPA) not only built roads and infrastructure during the Great Depression but also employed writers to document the landscapes and communities connected by those roads. McNamee will explore the fascinating story behind Arizona’s WPA guidebook, first published in 1940, crafted by western novelist Ross Santee and a team of writers, including a young Barry Goldwater. Through vivid storytelling and historical insight, McNamee will take us down Arizona’s early highways, long before the interstates, when Phoenix was a modest city of 48,000 and towns like Scottsdale and Sierra Vista were yet to be born. Don’t miss this captivating look at Arizona’s literary and cultural heritage!
