Join us for Raise the Stacks 2025! We are planning lots of fun for you!
Did you know thousands of 4 and 5-year-olds get ready for school at Phoenix Public Library’s Kindergarten Bootcamp? Have you heard adults are earning their high school diplomas and receiving guidance to achieve their career goals at the Library? What if we told you tweens and teens learn computer coding and how to create 3-D printed models after school at our libraries? Phoenix Public Library is more than a place with books on shelves, every day your neighbors and their families are changing their lives at the Library.
For more than 100 years, Phoenix Public Library has been providing vital services that are responsive, flexible, and innovative. While tax dollars put books on the shelves and keep the lights on, the programs that prepare kids for school, put people to work, help students navigate the path to college, and promote entrepreneurship rely on private dollars.
We invite you to support these programs by participating in Raise the Stacks. Sponsored by the Phoenix Public Library Foundation, this year’s event will be held at Burton Barr Central Library on Friday, November 14, 2025.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us at info@phoenixlibraryfoundation.org.
