Did you know thousands of 4 and 5-year-olds get ready for school by participating in Phoenix Public Library's Kindergarten Bootcamp? Have you heard adults are earning their high school diplomas and receiving guidance to achieve their career goals using the hybrid services of College Depot at Burton Barr Central Library? What if we told you tweens and teens learn computer coding and how to create 3-D printed models in our workshops?
