Writing stories about your life isnât always easy. Even if you have a story in mind, sometimes putting words to paper can be intimidating, tiring, frustrating, or unproductive. The Self Stories workshop will help make writing about the experiences, people, and events that have made you who you are easy, enjoyable, and productive! The program will help you reflect on the past, engage in the present, accept new challenges, and connect with others. The primary focus is on the story that is revealed through writing rather than on the writing itself. Therefore, all levels of writing experience are welcome! This is a structured eight-week course. Participants will be given writing assignments and will then be invited to read their completed work aloud to the group for feedback. It is preferred that participants attend all eight sessions (or as many as possible).  Workshop is limited to 10 participants (including the course leaders). Register on this page, call 520-594-5490, or ask at the Sahuarita Library front desk. Materials will be provided, and refreshments will be offered while supplies last.  For more information, visit the Self Stories website.

Read to a Dog gives kids the chance to read to a non-judgmental listener, one who will accept the story exactly as they read it.

Being able to relax and have fun reading increases motivation to read, which is an essential element in becoming a successful reader. Come to Sahuarita Library and read to Grace. Grace is eagerly waiting to meet you and see the world through the books you choose. She is a very good listener. How does Read to a Dog work? Kids come to library during Read to a Dog and select a book to read to a furry friend. All of the dogs and handlers who participate have been certified as therapy dogs by an accredited organization.
