Sedona AZ (January 29, 2016) – 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 to demonstrate your support for the Library.
Do you love your library? Show your spirit all month by wearing a “Love Your Library” button. Get your free button at the main library in West Sedona or Sedona Public Library in the Village. Pick up your button today and show your pride. We want to see Love Your Library buttons all over town!
Haven’t been to the Library recently? Dust off your library card and come see what’s new. We have e-readers available for loan and free e-books to download to your own device. Check out our extensive collection of DVDs, including blockbuster movies, television series, and foreign films.
If you don’t have a library card, now is the perfect time to apply for one. Stop by either of our locations with your photo ID and proof of local residency. Your library card is free and will give you access to library materials at 42 libraries in the Yavapai Library Network.
