Unearth a Story Before July 20!

There’s still plenty left to unearth—so grab your reading tools, dig into one more story, brush off hidden codes, and make sure every minute is logged before the clock strikes midnight.

Let’s finish strong and Unearth a Story together!

Hurry before this year's summer reading goes the way of the dinosaurs . . .

National Library Week Celebration! (Tuesday, April 21, 2026)

I wanted to celebrate the national library week, so I decided to use all of my library cards. Starting from the left to the right I started by going to the Palo Verde Phoenix library outdoor holds locker to get two comics. Then I went to the Main Glendale Library on Brown Street to get a large print of "Mexican Gothic". Then I went to the Fairway Sun City library to get the "Caught Stealing" DVD and a book I liked the length of when I was browsing the shelves. I also wanted to read this eComic from my eCard from the Peoria library.
