    logo_sedonapubliclibrarySedona AZ (October 15, 2019) – Sedona Public Library is excited to again bring you Spooktacular, a fun day of Halloween activities on October 31. This year we will follow up with a second day of celebration in honor of Día de los Muertos, concluding with our evening Poetry and Prose program, all on November 1. Come on by for loads of fun!

    On October 31 we welcome visitors and volunteers to join Library staff and dress up as the title or a character from a favorite book or movie. We’ll have a photo booth set up to take snapshots of whoever you are, and for those who haven’t dressed up? We’ll have a selection of hats, wigs, and more for you to wear so you can join the photo fun. As always, we’ll play “Who Am I?” at the end of the day. Remember, your librarians love a good challenge. Can you outsmart them?

    The day will be full of ongoing activities including the newly added “Pop Up Readings.” Listen to librarians, other staff, and volunteers read ghost stories or poems throughout the day. Maybe you’d like to sign up to tell one of your spookiest stories? Give us a call and we’ll sign you up.

    We’re again hosting a jack o’lantern contest, so bring your carved or decorated pumpkin in by 3:30 pm. We’ll also have a themed jigsaw puzzle you can work on, scavenger hunt that will take you deep into the stacks, book and altar exhibits, as well as coloring pages and creepy boxes. What are those you ask? You’ll have to come in, insert your hand, and find out. (Be careful!)

    The day will conclude with refreshments in the Si Birch Community Room from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m. when we will play “Who Am I?” and announce Jack o’ lantern winners. Can’t wait to see your costume!

    And that’s not all! Similar fun can be enjoyed on Día de Los Muertos, November 1. We’ll again have a photo booth and to help you adorn yourself as Katarina or a sugar skull, we’ll have a face painter from 1 to 3 p.m. Then we’ll again have coloring pages, a jigsaw puzzle, and another scavenger hunt. In case you couldn’t figure out the Halloween hunt, you’ll get another chance!

    The day will end with Poetry & Prose, our monthly literary program from 5 to 7 p.m. in the Si Birch Community Room. We’re excited to present a fun line up of spooky readings, music and refreshments, and special guest and award-winning slam poet: The Klute.

    See you on Halloween and Día de Los Muertos at the Library! For questions or more information, please call us at 928.282.7714.

    The Symbolism of Jan. 6

    By Tommy Acosta
    Don’t mess with symbols. Just ask author Dan Brown’s character Robert Landon. The worth of symbols cannot be measured. Symbols make the world-go-round. Symbols carry the weight of a thousand words and meanings. Symbols represent reality boiled down to the bone. Symbols evoke profound emotions and memories—at a very primal level of our being—often without our making rational or conscious connections. They fuel our imagination. Symbols enable us to access aspects of our existence that cannot be accessed in any other way. Symbols are used in all facets of human endeavor. One can only feel sorry for those who cannot comprehend the government’s response to the breech of the capital on January 6, with many, even pundits, claiming it was only a peaceful occupation. Regardless if one sees January 6 as a full-scale riot/insurrection or simply patriotic Americans demonstrating as is their right, the fact is the individuals involved went against a symbol, and this could not be allowed or go unpunished.
