The City of Casa Grande Public Library is bringing a raft of new programs and activities to residents this week, according to the latest community update. After a short hiatus for Labor Day, the library's doors swing open again with regular hours resuming today. But even on closed days, the library reminds patrons that its digital resources remain a click away, available 24/7, as reported by the City of Casa Grande.
For those looking to add some structure to their creativity, the LEGO Checkout Challenge offers a unique opportunity throughout September, celebrating Library Card Sign-Up Month. "In celebration of Library Card Sign-Up Month, both locations are hosting a Library LEGO Checkout Challenge throughout September," the library's announcement detailed.
Young readers ages 8 to 12 can look forward to First Chapter Fridays at Vista Grande Library, a program that introduces them to both new stories and timeless classics. For those who enjoy crafting, the Crochet & Knitting Club meets every Friday afternoon, offering a welcoming space to create together. Participants should bring their own supplies, though limited yarn will be available while it lasts, as per the City of Casa Grande.
The library is putting wellness on the calendar with the Choose Health Nutrition Series, beginning September 5. Open to participants ages 8 and up, this weekly class is led by the University of Arizona Cooperative Extension’s Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program. Sessions run from 2:00 to 3:00 p.m. at the Main Library and promise a hands-on, engaging approach to healthy living.
Learning opportunities extend beyond nutrition. The library offers ESL classes for English learners, a high school diploma program for adults, and one-on-one "Tutor Tech Time" appointments to help with everything from smartphones to social media. With a multitude of offerings and a dedication to serve as a hub for growth and learning, the City of Casa Grande Public Library stands as a testament to this timeless role. To stay updated on the activities and for scheduling purposes, residents can always turn to the library's online newsletter.
