Scottsdale Public Library

August 2024

Scottsdale Public Library storytimes will be on a break during the month of August to allow for our amazing staff to recharge and prepare for our fall programming. During this break, we encourage you to explore new books, create your own stories and continue nurturing your love for reading. Storytimes will resume the week of Sept. 9. Thank you for your understanding and continued support!
