Residents can learn about the different drought stages and how to be water wise. The free, family-friendly event will also include crafts for children, desert-wise landscape classes for adults, water conservation resources and a plant/seed exchange.
Arizona has been in a drought for more than 23 years.

The award-winning garden that surrounds the library is a living example of the diversity and abundant amount of low-water-use plants available for use in planning a lush and inviting garden.
