    Sedona AZ (April 2, 2019) – Sedona Public Library is the cornerstone of our community. Within its beautiful rock walls, people of all ages, backgrounds, and from near and far, connect with one another and with our services, technology, and programs. Our visitors learn new things, discover new interests, seek new trails, and get started on the path to new careers and more.

    Everything we do requires the support of our generous community, especially individuals like you. We know we can count on you to support your library, and that’s why we’ve joined more than a hundred libraries across the country for the first ever national day of giving, April 10. From now through April 10, Library Giving Day, your gifts are matched dollar for dollar, with the support of a generous patron.

    “Everyone in this town comes through the Library at some time,” this supporter notes. “I believe the community feels that this is truly their library, a community resource for all.” With their pledge, your Library Giving Day gift is doubled, up to a total of $15,000!

    When you champion your library, you guarantee the broad array of services and resources that we make available to the community, for free. You secure the breadth of our collection, currently at 83,000 items. And you support the cost to provide access to 1.2 million items within the Yavapai Library Network.

    We are conveniently located, making sure that our services are available to all. Our main facility is on White Bear Road in West Sedona and we have a service center in the Village of Oak Creek; and now, we have a children’s project at Sunset Park. Have you visited StoryWalk?

    Sedona Gift Shop

    StoryWalk is a community supported project that gives local families the opportunity to practice reading skills, get some exercise, and enjoy Sedona’s lovely outdoors. When you visit StoryWalk at Sunset Park, you find the pages of a children’s story placed in frames along a half-mile paved path. Each season Sedona Public Library will post a new children’s story that includes helpful reading tips and fun suggestions for movement and fitness. Check it out!

    Have you checked out our newest free service: Kanopy? We just launched the popular on-demand film streaming service that provides thoughtful entertainment. It’s free for all Sedona Public Library card holders, and you can sign up to stream from most computers and devices. New York Times calls Kanopy “a garden of cinematic delights.” Kanopy showcases more than 30,000 of the world’s best films including award-winning documentaries, rare and hard-to-find titles, film festival favorites, indie and classic films, and more.

    Speaking of films, there’s even more news to share about what how we make terrific use of your support. This month we launch Reel Life, a free documentary film night. Please join us on the fourth Tuesday of every month at 6:30 p.m. in the community room. This month, on April 23, we will screen RBG, for free! This is an inspiring exploration of the life and career of U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. See you there!

    And this is just a list of the new things we are offering to the 190,000 visitors who come through our doors every year, and many more who visit us online. Please show your support for your library, and consider a gift for Library Giving Day. Remember, now through April 10, your gifts are matched dollar for dollar. Drop a check in the mail, stop by, or visit sedonalibrary.org/donate. It’s easy to give online.

    Thanks for your support!

    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.
