Quiet Zone / La Zona de Silencio

We are designating a Quiet Zone for those customers who would like an area where they can have a peaceful place for study, contemplation, reflection, productive thinking or to just read, with minimal disturbances.

Quilt It! : A beginning quilt workshop for boys and girls

Once a utilitarian skill, modern quilting now combines utility with art. The Quilt It! workshop project is a simple, but effective way for boys and girls to learn basic quilting skills. Elementary skills are taught, so that all work can be completed by hand sewing and quilting.

Participants will create their own quilted 12 inch square pillow by attending 4 easy Saturday sessions with volunteer instructors from the Tucson Quilters Guild Education Committee.

Registration limited to participants between 8 and 18 years old. Registration required. Please register online or call 594-5315.

Session 1 of 4.

Registration for this event is required. Register for this event online or call 520-594-5315

Read to a Dog

Children are invited to read to a Certified Therapy Dog. One of the favorite things for the dog to do is listen to children read lots of stories. Reading to a dog or other pet can help new and reluctant readers gain confidence, increase important reading skills, and develop a love of reading.
