Many have heard and even repeated the phrase "it takes a village to raise a child"; the Library's goal is to support to Luke Air Force Base community in every way possible. Our children's programs include:
- Story Time every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday at 9:30am
- Play Group every Wednesday at 10am sponsored by Family Advocacy
- Dial A Story at (623) 856-3754 offers a unique opportunity for your child to have a story read to them over the phone.
- Read To Bowl offers incentives for children to read, for every one age appropriate book read your child can turn in a short book report (forms and sign up available at the Library's circulation desk) and they will receive a voucher for one free game of bowling at the Thunderbolt Lanes.
- Summer Reading Program sign ups start in May and activities actually begin in June for ages 4-12. This free and fun program offers entertainment, crafts and reading incentives.

Crafting for a Cause
Save the date for March 30th at 5PM when the Library's Adult Craft Group will meet to make fleece tie blankets that will be donated to the Phoenix Children's Hospital.
Tie blankets require no sewing, gluing or skill so please do not let the idea of making a blanket intimidate you. If you can tie a knot (or learn to tie one) then you can participate and we need your help!
As cliche as it may sound, our children truly are our future and the importance of helping children during their time of need cannot be emphasized enough. By tying a few simple knots you show these children and their families that they are cherished. What better way to warm hearts than to give a child a warm blanket?
Please call Dana Coale at (623) 856-7191 to sign up for this worthy cause.
If you are unable to attend our March meeting we ask that you keep us in mind for our other upcoming dates. Craft for a Cause meetings will be held every three months, always on the last Wednesday of the month at 5PM.
Thank you,
Luke AFB Library Staff
