    Masks aren't really a requirement apparently even though the sign says they are. They believe that masks are optional

    So I moved to a new place and it was finally time to check out the services offered in my new city…read more While I did not like my old neighborhood I loved being a city of Phoenix resident. I was a Phx resident for over 20 years and the services in that city are outstanding. I knew it would be hard to beat their library services, which are gorgeous facilities and well stocked. With that said though, Glendale has a reciprocity agreement so now I can use both. YEAH! When I arrived at the 59th location I was treated well and greeted by a friendly librarian who signed me up and did a great job explaining everything. This is a smaller branch and not as large or well stocked as the Phx locations but the facilities are very nice. It will do just fine. What was really fun was on the way home driving out of the parking lot I got to stop for a Peacock crossing, I was like, "Waaaaaaaaaa?" Then I realized they were out walking from the nearby awesome park they live at. So fun and cool!!!! Weird to have to stop in a parking lot to let Peacocks cross living in Phoenix Arizona and all. lol - I hope when you are there you watch out for them. I keep thinking most people might not expect them and might hit them if they drive unsafe. I would go back to this branch just to see the Peacocks. Ha!

My kids favorite part is the chickens, turkeys, and peacocks hanging out by the parking. Too bad their hours are short. Many days during the week they don't open until 1:00pm

    Arizona State University West Campus - ASU West Valley during Winter Wonderland

    When someone thinks of Arizona State University, they often think of the Tempe Campus and a large…read moreschool experience. What they may not realize is that while that experience is great for many people, yet others may be looking for a different experience. The ASU West Valley Campus is much smaller than the Tempe Campus yet it's a community where every student has the potential to feel connected with resources and to know many students, staff, and faculty by name just as many faculty and staff can really get to know their students well. It's growing at a fast pace and has transferred over the last decade from a commuter campus to a residential campus with more than 1100 bed spaces in two residence halls and one on-campus apartment complex. The ASU West Valley Campus just turned 40 years old, and in my opinion, it is the most beautiful campus of the many ASU campuses as it includes fountains, gardens, artwork, and so much more. In fact, I've heard before that it was designed in the image of Oxford. It attracts not only students from other campus who choose to take classes at the West Valley Campus but community members to come onto campus for the many special events that are open to the community. Recently, the New College of Interdisciplinary Arts and Sciences spearheaded a wonderful event open to students, staff, faculty, and community members called the Winter Wonderland, bringing a winter festival experience to the ASU West Valley Campus as more than 1500 people attended. As the campus continues to grow and expand as a part of the West Valley Forward initiative, the number of buildings on campus continue to increase. In addition to academic buildings like SANDS and CLCC, a new building will open soon. There is a University Center (UCB) with many ASU student services represented inside along with the Barrett (Honors College) office, the Sun Devil Campus Store, a Multicultural Communities of Excellence space, Cafe West, offices for student organizations such as the Undergraduate Student Government (USG) and the Programming and Activities Board (PAB), an art space, various other spaces available to reserve both large and small, a future student space, and more. There is the Fletcher Library with its own Starbucks, the three residential communities, Changemaker Central, a marketplace with Jamba Juice, an academic building with faculty offices (FAB), an ASU Police station, facilities offices, a lecture building, the Kiva Auditorium, the Herberger Youth Scholars Academy building, a thriving field space, and a beautiful three-story Sun Devil Fitness Center. Needless to say, there is something for everyone on the ASU West Valley Campus. At the West Valley Campus, every student can drive their own experience as they engage in the events and resources on-campus while attending classes, getting an on-campus job, landing an internship or full-time job, joining clubs and organizations, attending many free events and activities, and so much more. The Dean of Students Office and the many student services offices at ASU West Valley are always there for students, and it's easy to find your way towards graduation and your future when taking advantage of these resources. I look forward to seeing the continued growth on this beautiful campus in the coming years!

    I graduated High school a year early and started at my local community college at age 16. I started…read moreat a major corporation at age 17 for a few days until they realized they had changed their rules to age 18 so I waited a few months until my birthday and then began working. In the meantime I completed my associates degree at my local community college. We had a UOP down the street from work so I started there for a BS in business. I was given a position they considered as working out of classification meaning I should have a degree, but still allowed me to have the position with full pay since I was attending college. The hiring manager sat me aside and told me to drop UOP and transfer to ASU. I was really young and he wanted to help me out. I was kind of like everyone's kid there. He said if I wanted my degree to mean more and wanted to be taken seriously, then I should make the move. I was happy to oblige as back then we didn't have computers at home, and after attending classes in the evening at UOP I then had to meet with classmates in person for group projects several days a week which was wearing me thin. Working in north Phoenix and spending most of my time at work I decided to attend ASU West. Their main campus was too far with all the hours I was already putting in. I was able to complete my MBA with a minor in Business Communication with ease. I sure wish we had online classes back in the day, though the cost for tuition has increased a lot since the 90s so it was worth the brick and mortar experience. Our company paid for most of my tuition with an annual education allowance so I mainly just had to cover my books. I didn't feel I missed out on the large college social campus experience, as I didn't feel at home in that environment. I recommend talking with job fair recruiters on their thoughts based on what direction you are heading for your career. If you are getting into the medical field make sure to find out what the requirements are for the state your planning on work in so you do not waste your time heading a direction that doesn't meet their requirements. Talking with anyone at any age still thinking about college, think of it as an investment. Not just a character building investment but a financial one as well. Are you going to be able to earn the money you put into your education? I seen a lot of older individuals going back and choosing paths that do not have many opportunities, or they will not be able to get the financial investment back in income to cover the years of schooling they paid for. Just something to think about. Over all this school looks good on my resume, their class sizes were small, the counselors were very helpful and knowledgeable, and for me the location was perfect. I liked the smaller campus like my community college.

    We had a great first visit to one of the Sun City branches of the Maricopa Library District. We…read morecame in to pick up a Desert Milkweed Seed Kit that were being given out today, Earth Day, at all Maricopa District libraries. The staff were so friendly and helpful here and my daughter also ended up getting her library card. It only took a few minutes. She chose a library card that has a scorpion on it that glows in the dark. Very cool. We enjoyed looking at all of the books, audiobooks, movies, and culture passes available. There's even an option to check out a ukulele at this branch! We checked out the Friends of the Library Bookstore attached to the library by a small hallway with restrooms, a relaxation room and a microfiche room. The bookstore is one of the nicest and most curated friends of the library bookstores I have seen. Everything is organized alphabetically and decorated and clean. Books are very affordable priced around $0.25 to $1.00. We were greeted by the friendliest staff helper when we walked in.

    They hold interesting programs here so I went to learn about 3d printing.The librarian explained…read morethat because of the time consuming nature of the printer, all of the parts of our projects were made in advance so all we had to do was pick the colors of the various pieces, read the directions, and snap them together, but she had the machine going to we could see how it operates and we saw little orange spinners made. So what did we make? Fidgets. One black one like a mini joystick, an Oreo, and a clicking gear (all shown in my pics). She explained that they are fun for everyone, but that neurodivergent people like those with ADHD find them handy to help increase focus or for self soothing. She had books about neurodivergency lined up on the book cart so we could look through them and check them out if we wanted to. I wasn't expecting this extra educational aspect to what I thought was just seeing a 3d printer work, so it was a very well rounded program and all of us in this multi age group really enjoyed it.
