This Thanksgiving there are many things for which to be thankful.  My family, my friends and my opportunities are just a few to name.  I also give thanks for my Library.  My Library reaches each of these in a meaningful way.  I share fun, enriching learning experiences with my family at the Library when we explore the books on the shelves and the areas in which they are kept.  I enjoy good commodore with my friends in helping raise funds for the Library as a member of the Phoenix Public Library Foundation.  I can visit the Library to take advantage of the amazing opportunities it holds – computer literacy classes, ESL classes, art exhibits, free Internet access, books, music, movies and so much more.  The Library is a pillar in the community, enhancing each community with its beautifully crafted architecture and standing strong for its patrons.   We should all be thankful for the services that the Library brings to the community every day.

Once again, this  annual event was a smashing success.  Guests mingled over cocktails while browsing and bidding on a number of spectacular items ranging from artwork to jewelry and autographed books.  Proceeds from this event will benefit the new Digital Studio at the Burton Barr Library – just one more way in which the Phoenix Public Library contributes to our community.  If you’ve not attended this event before, you’ll want to get on the guest list for 2011.  This is an event you’ll not want to miss!
