    Sedona AZ (August 30, 2019) – Sedona Public Library has been awarded a prestigious Library Services Technology Act grant by the Arizona State Library, Archives and Public Records, a division of the Secretary of State.  Funds from the grant will be used to support the Library’s upcoming environmental program series, “Our Earth, Our Habitat, Our Home.” Funds will also be used to upgrade technology so more people can enjoy our library programs.

    The Library has planned a number of events for the “Our Earth” series, including author talks about protecting and preserving the environment, so grab your calendar and make a note of these free presentations. All programs will take place in the community room at Sedona Public Library, 3250 White Bear Road.

    Tuesday, September 10, 10:30 a.m. Mike Koopsen, fine-art landscape photographer, will present a slide show of his award-winning images to celebrate the theme “Our Earth, Our Habitat, Our Home.” Mike will also offer insider tips about the best places to photograph the red rocks.

    Friday, October 4, 3:30 p.m.  Journalist Rebecca Robinson and photographer Stephen E. Strom will speak about their book “Voices from Bears Ears: Seeking Common Ground on Sacred Land.” A land rich in history and unsurpassed in natural beauty, Bears Ears National Monument is at the heart of a national debate over the future of public lands. Through stories and images, Robinson and Strom will enable the audience to hear and see the people whose lives are intertwined with this special place.

    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.
