StoryWalk®: It’s a Book in the Park Since 2021, parks around Chandler have featured StoryWalk displays: colorful, enlarged picture book pages posted around walking paths and lakes. Hundreds of families have enjoyed reading together along with the benefits of outdoor physical activity. Our StoryWalk program includes a permanent display at Desert Breeze Park in west Chandler, which currently features Penguin and Penelope. Other books rotate throughout the city, with the latest story, Señorita Mariposa, on display at Veterans Oasis Park until the end of May. Learn more. English Language Learners and Volunteers Bridge Cultures at CPL The library offers English language learning and Citizenship Workshops to adults who are new speakers of English and/or preparing for the U.S. Citizenship Exam. This year, we've helped nearly 300 learners from 39 different countries! We couldn't do this work without our Adult Literacy volunteers, who have dedicated nearly 3,000 hours of service to these programs. We welcome all new volunteers to help us expand this program! Our Community Shone on Library Giving Day We thank the community for supporting us on Library Giving Day on April 4! Over $4900 in donations were raised by Friends of Chandler Public Library, which will help us increase opportunities to provide and improve library spaces, programs, and services for all ages.
