The center may care for up to 59 children at once. It is in YAVAPAI county. Call (928) 567-6299 to ask about openings, the ages it takes, and the daily schedule.

Thanks A Latte is a coffee shop at 348 South Main Street in Camp Verde. It opens Tuesday through Sunday from 6 in the morning until 2:30 in the afternoon, and is closed Monday. There is a drive through lane for people who would rather not get out of the car, plus seating outside. Sandwiches are on the menu alongside coffee. Orders can be taken away. Wireless internet is offered. Wheelchair access is limited, so call first if that matters to you. The phone number is (928) 567-6450. Early opening makes it a stop for people heading out to work.

Clark Memorial Library is at 39 North 9th Street in Clarkdale. It is open Monday through Thursday from 1 p.m. to 5:30 p.m., and on Friday from 8 a.m. to noon, so the Friday hours are mornings only and the rest of the week is afternoons. It is closed on Saturday and Sunday. The phone number is (928) 634-5423. Because the open window each day is short, call before making the drive, especially around holidays. Worth asking on that call: how to get a card, whether computers and printing are available, and what programs run for children.

The Cottonwood Public Library sits at 100 South 6th Street in Cottonwood. It is part of the Yavapai Library Network, so a card issued here works at other member libraries and items can move between them. Wireless internet is available in the building. The phone number is (928) 634-7559. Opening times, story hours and meeting room rules change, so call or check ctwpl.info before going. Ask what you need to bring to get a card, since proof of address is usually part of it. Computers, printing and help finding a book are the sort of things staff can walk you through.

Sedona Public Library

The public library for Sedona sits at 3250 White Bear Road. A library card usually opens up more than shelves: computers, printing, meeting rooms, story times for small children, and books and audio you can borrow from home. Hours and program schedules are not listed here, and they change with the season and with holidays, so check the library website or call (928) 282-7714 before you make the drive. Ask about a card if you live in the area, and ask what proof of address is needed to get one. Ask too whether a visitor can use the computers.
