    Sedona AZ (September 25, 2015) – When is the last time you played tourist? You don’t need guests as an excuse to enjoy the wonderful attractions of Northern Arizona. Use resources from Sedona Public Library to plan your next adventures in the high country.

    photo_cherylyeatts2Take a hike! Before your departure, check out guidebooks available at the library: “Flagstaff Hikes” by Richard Mangum, “Best Easy Day Hikes, Flagstaff” by Bruce Grubbs, and “50 Favorite Hikes:  Flagstaff and Sedona” by Cosmic Ray. A word of advice before you plan any hike: be prepared.  Wear sunscreen, take plenty of water and be aware of high elevation. The altitude will get your blood pumping, so schedule some rest breaks.

    Learn about ancient civilizations. Walnut Canyon and Wupatki Ruins are two outstanding national monuments located a short drive from Flagstaff. Read more about Walnut Canyon in Scott Thybony’s book “Walnut Canyon National Monument.”  David Grant Noble’s book “Wupatki and Walnut Canyon:  New Perspectives on History, Prehistory, and Rock Art” is another great resource.

    Visit a cultural attraction. Borrow a Culture Pass from the library for two free admissions to Lowell Observatory or the Pioneer Museum or the Arboretum at Flagstaff.  For more information about the free Culture Pass, pick up a brochure or visit the Reference Desk at Sedona Public Library. What a great deal!

    Yes, That Was Biden at the
    State of the Union Address

    By Tommy Acosta
    It was about three minutes into President Biden’s speech in his State of the Union address when I found myself searching for clues as to the speaker’s real identity. “It just couldn’t be him,” I thought. An imposter had taken his place and was getting away with it!” Where was the stumbling, fumbling, bumbling President America has grown to love? What the heck was going on? His demeaner was confident. He was lucid. He did not lose himself somewhere in his mind between sentences. He hardly referred to his notes and went on delivering his message in an almost totally coherent way. He even went off script when Republican hecklers using their doth-the-lady-protest too-loud defense against him, protesting loudly after being accused by Biden that they were out to wipeout Medicare and Social Security.
