    Sedona Public LibrarySedona AZ (January 31, 2020) – This February, Sedona Public Library is celebrating Love Your Library Month. It’s our way of encouraging you to take advantage of the many free services we offer and for you to demonstrate your support for the Library.        

    Don’t have a library card? Now is the perfect time to apply for one.  Get your free card at the main library in West Sedona (3250 White Bear Rd.) or Sedona Public Library in the Village (51A Bell Rock Plaza).  Bring your photo ID and proof of local residency. Your library card will give you access to over one million physical library materials at 42 libraries in the Yavapai Library Network and the ability to download books and audio books and to stream movies.

    Lost your card?  During February we’re waiving the $5 replacement card fee. So stop in and get a new card, completely free of charge. 

    Stop by our Love Your Library table and tell us why you love your library and pick up a button and a kiss (chocolate, of course!).

    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.
