Join us for our very first Silent Book Club Book Exchange at Mesa Public Library. The exchange is open to all readers, not just Silent Book Club members!
From 6:00–7:00 p.m. on Wednesday, September 16, 2026, swap your gently used adult fiction or nonfiction books and discover fresh reads. Come for the book exchange, and stay (optional!) for 30 minutes of peaceful, silent reading in the upper rotunda.
Bring as many books as you’d like, or drop in even if you don’t have any to trade. Take home “new‑to‑you” titles for personal enjoyment, and any leftovers will be donated to the Friends of the Library Bookstore.

We need your input to help us make sound planning and budgeting decisions. Invitations have been sent to randomly selected households asking for feedback via The National Community Survey.

In a few weeks, we'll open the survey to everyone. You can sign-up for email notification at https://ayrs.io/3ze8q7 or get the details of the survey on the County website (https://ayrs.io/8EFxBj).
