Casa Grande Library's Bookmobile
Friends of the Casa Grande Library is pleased to have been able to donate $32,500 toward the purchase of a bookmobile for the Casa Grande Public Library with the City providing the remaining funds. Capital R Construction, Coldwell Banker ROX Realty, Jones Casa Grande, Absolute Construction, Ellison Mills, Casa Grande Eye Care, Mitchell & Crosby Dental, Walton Orthodontics, and the Studio of Dance generously donated funds for the bookmobile wrap while Egan Eyes Photography provided a beautiful, local, landscape photo. Radius Sign and Banner designed and created the wrap. Soon, thanks to all of the people who provided funds or in other ways made this possible, the beautiful bookmobile will be making its appearance throughout the community, serving the residents of Casa Grande.
