Scottsdale Public Library

February 2025
February is National Library Lovers' Month!
National Library Lovers’ Month is in February and is dedicated to YOU – those in our community who love libraries for all they do for them. Here are just a few of the lovely comments we’ve received from our patrons recently:  
  • “What an amazing library!”  
  • “I love the Mustang Library so much; you all do such a great job.”
  • “Amazing isn’t the word. This is my first time here and the knowledge and support I have gotten is top tier. The help and services will keep me and my family here with something to do for the entire family. Great job! Hands down the best.”
  • “Baby Cuddles [program at Arabian Library] is so amazing. So engaging and a very talented teacher and leader. LOVED the class and so did my grandson!”
  • “A beautiful building with kind and helpful librarians”
Thank you for all your kind words! We can’t wait to see you this month, whether it be checking out our books and materials, learning a new skill, attending an event or simply using our space.
