Camp Verde Community Library is preparing for very special visitors! 

Starting March 26 we begin the CVCL Chicken Egg Hatch-Along event. We invite all ages to join us on the journey of eggs as they are set in an incubator, as the eggs develop, and then to the hatching of the eggs into adorable fluffy chicks around April 15th. The incubator will be viewable to anyone who comes into the library. You can also follow the eggs’ progress on our Facebook and Instagram accounts.
