The Phoenix Public Library doesn’t just offer programming for toddlers and youth. Programs geared toward adults take place this month at some of the North Central-area branches.
Rachel Bess presents “Planting a Garden in the Valley,” 2-4 p.m. Saturday, July 8, in the Century Library Meeting Room, 1750 E. Highland Ave. Come learn about what you can plant in your garden now, and what you can plant in fall. Attendees also will make a pot from newspaper and plant a seed that you can take home for your garden. Pre-registration required.
Get some “Laptop Computer Lab and Device Advice,” 1:30-3:30 p.m. Sunday, July 9, in the Saguaro Library Meeting Room, 2808 N. 46th St. Have computer questions? Curious about the Internet? Want to know how to use your handheld device to access library e-materials?
