Testimonials

My only granddaughter has always loved books and we spent many unforgettable times at Desert Foothills Library. Even when she was very young we attended activities for Pre-K children. She began reading at a very early age and her love for books has only grown deeper as she has become older. She is now a teenager and still loves books and enjoys going to your wonderful library.

Thank you all for the wonderful memories that were created at Desert Foothills. You all helped my granddaughter and I 'create' many unforgettable times together. (You may still see her occasionally searching for and checking out many new books to read).

Sincerely,

A Grateful Grandmother
