Tomorrow, we’ll begin updating this page’s name to “Maricopa County Library District,” the first step in bringing our branch pages together into one account. While this change may take a little time to appear, it’s part of our effort to improve accessibility, simplify how you find information, and share more with you in one central place!

It’s been a pleasure connecting with you here and highlighting our Sun City Library over the years 💛 We’re so glad you’ve been part of our community and we look forward to connecting with you from our Maricopa County Library District accounts, starting next week.

Visit the library to check out a book from one of our April displays, or add something to our interactive whiteboard!

Join us for a free community screening of Free for All: The Public Library, a documentary by Dawn Logsdon and Lucie Faulknor celebrating the history and vital role of public libraries. Come be inspired by the story of libraries as essential, democratic spaces for everyone. The film will be followed by a brief audience Q&A, as time allows.

Please note: This event will be held at Fairway Recreation Center, Arizona Room 1.

Proudly sponsored by the Friends of the Library and supported by the Carnegie Corporation of New York.

SciStarter shares citizen science activities you can try in April, Citizen Science Month! Click on any project to try it out. Citizen science is also known as participatory science, because you can volunteer a little bit of time and make a difference in science.

Or, check out a Citizen Science kit at the library and share your observations with working scientists! For more information, and to check availability, see the link in the comments.

Check on older adults and those living alone to ensure they have working A/C during these high temperatures. Fans aren't enough.

If anyone can't stay cool, call 2-1-1 or visit your closest public library, community center or indoor shopping mall.
