I'd love to do outreach here as it's almost walking distance from my office :-).
Ugh - and you think PVCC Union Hills has lighting problems… The Mustang is
right across 90th street from a major shopping area and just south of
Scottsdale hospital.
However, they do have a nice parking lot.
Since the library is a non-profit and offers their programs to kids and
families for free, I vote that we do it gratis.
