Always Something Going on at your Local Libraries

by Julie Andersen, Outreach Librarian, Vista Grande Library, City of Casa Grande

Summer is still a few months away, but your Casa Grande public libraries already are planning a fun-filled Summer Reading Program!

This year’s theme is Find Your Voice! With that, you can expect lots of singing, dancing, performers and more! There will be activities for toddlers to teenagers, and we will even have some adult programs in the mix.

Juvenile participants will receive a reading log to track the minutes they read and earn prizes each week. The kickoff is June 5 from 2 to 3:30 p.m. at the Palm Island Aquatics Center.

Are you looking for something to do in the here and now?

Head down to either library, Main or Vista Grande, with your library card and check out an Act One Culture Pass. Once checked out, the receipt printed from the library will give you two free “passes” to a destination you chose from participating locations. Places include The Reid Park Zoo, The Heard Museum, Arizona-Sonoran Desert Museum, Phoenix Art Museum, and more.

The “pass” printed is good for seven days and expires on the eighth day. One pass per household per sevenday loaning period is allowed and two per household per month. To see what is available go to www. cglibrary.org and search for Culture

Pass. Passes cannot be reserved and are first come, first serve.

Don’t have a library card yet? We have two locations — the Main Library at 449 N. Drylake St. and the Vista Grande Library at 1556 N. Arizola Road. All you need is a photo ID with a current Pinal County address. If your ID does not have that, bring in your ID with a piece of mail with your name and current address.

With a library card, you can access thousands of resources from print to digital.

Did you know you can use your Casa Grande Library card at all Pinal County libraries? You can also request items from any Pinal County library be sent to either of the Casa Grande locations. The Pinal County Library District runs a county courier that stops at our libraries twice a week.
