We visited the Mesquite branch of the Phoenix Library this weekend (over by Paradise Valley Mall) and I was reminded again that they have an excellent story time for kids. Plus, it’s free! Story times are held year-round in Phoenix except all locations take a holiday in December. You’ll want to visit phoenixpubliclibrary.org/kids for any cancellations or closures, or for information about other locations.
