A special thank you to the Desert Ridge Community Association (DRCA) for their generous contribution to purchase the Little Free Library to promote a community park location where children are encouraged to play and learn. A partnership between City of Phoenix, DRCA and a local parents group, the Moose Club, brought the library to Cashman Park.
