Update from Your Library Director...
A note was dropped off at the library asking about the status of the donor bricks that were sold as a fundraising project by Citizen's Committee for Camp Verde Library (CCCVL). The note was unsigned and the writer left no contact information but, due to one comment, that many people wish to know what happened to the bricks, it seems good to give an update here. 

We currently have 16 bricks etched with names or quotes that will be installed in the landscaping area by the flagpole. The completion of this project has been taken up by the volunteers who call themselves, "The Old Guys." The original plan to install flat bricks on the curved wall was not feasible, though we attempted several design solutions. The Old Guys volunteer on many projects throughout the Town and do not belong exclusively to the Library, although the number of hours they put in this summer caring for our spectacular landscaping belies that statement.

At this point, I don't have a deadline to tell when the bricks will be in place, but we will put it on our Facebook page when they go in. If anyone receiving this newsletter has questions about this or any other project to acknowledge donors to the library's building project, please stop by and see me or call 928-554-8381.

From First Things First: Tip for childcare search? #1 Consider Quality
For working families, finding a quality child care center or preschool for their child is an important decision. In Arizona, 60 percent of children live in families where all of the adults work. So, most children spend all or part of their day learning from other adults. Read More...
