Residents of all ages will find activities throughout the month at their local library, including Yucca Branch Library, located 5648 N. 15th Ave.
Children up to age 5 are invited, along with their favorite grownup, to enjoy Family Storytime Fridays in August. The events will be held Aug. 2, 9, 16, 23 and 30, from 9:30 to 10 a.m. Attendees will play, read, sing and dance in a fun, active program that builds reading skills. Support for early literacy programs is provided by a grant from First Things First, which partners with families and communities to give all Arizona children the opportunity to arrive at kindergarten healthy and ready to succeed.
