The Hearts Behind the Magic
Finding Inspiration at Every Turn
Get a Clue AZ is the premier annual fundraiser for The Friends of the Pima County Public Library. Entirely volunteer-led and fueled by a shared passion for literacy, this event represents our community's commitment to its most vital resource.
Since 1968, The Friends—a local 501(c)(3) nonprofit—has worked tirelessly to ensure our local libraries remain vibrant hubs for learning and discovery. Funds raised through Get a Clue AZ goes directly toward our mission, providing the essential funding needed to sustain and expand library programs.
However, keeping this engine running requires more than just passion—it takes a village. To ensure the continued success of our annual fundraiser, we are seeking dedicated individuals to lend their talents. Whether you are a master of logistics or can offer a few hours of support on the day of the event, your contribution is vital.
