National Reading Month

Scottsdale Public Library Director, Kira Peters

Hello Library Patrons & Friends,

March is National Reading month, and our community is READING! I am happy to report that despite the challenges of COVID-19, our community continues to use the resources available at the library. We are all learning to do things differently during the pandemic and Scottsdale Public Library is right there with you. The mission of Scottsdale Public Library is to Put People at the Heart of Dynamic Library Services.

Thank you for using the library to keep the power of reading alive and well. Happy National Reading Month to You!

Kira Peters
Scottsdale Public Library Director
