    Sedona AZ (October 16, 2015) – This year, October 18 – 24 is the annual celebration of National Friends of Libraries Week. Sedona Public Library takes this time to thank the Friends of the Sedona Library, who contribute so much of their time and expertise to significantly enhance our services.

    Our Friends group was started in 1964 and officially became a 501(c) (3) nonprofit corporation in November 1967. Donations and memberships are deductible to the full extent allowable by law.

    The mission of the Friends of the Sedona Library is to support the Sedona Public Library as it strives to encourage literacy, lifelong learning, and the love of reading throughout our diverse community; to enhance the library’s resources, increase the community’s access to information and knowledge; to provide for a vibrant cultural gathering place, and cultivate a sense of public involvement through volunteering for the community.

    The Friends hold semiannual books sales that directly fund collection expansion as well as children’s and other community programs during the year. The books that are offered through these sales come from the existing library collection when they are no longer needed by the library and by ongoing donations from the community.

    The schedule for this year’s Fall Book Sale is as follows:

    Preview Night: Monday, October 26, 6:30 p.m. – 8:00 p.m. for Friends of the Library, invited guests, staff and volunteers.

    Sedona Gift Shop

    Sale: October 27 – November 1
    Sale open to the public during regular library hours Monday through Saturday and also on Sunday, November 1 from 12:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.

    You can also support the Friends of the Library by purchasing a Bashas’ Community Card at the Library’s reference desk for $10 (they are not available for purchase at the grocery store). By purchasing a card, you can donate six percent of your regular grocery expenses to the Friends group, at no additional cost to you.

    To support the goals of the Friends, you are cordially invited to join. To do so, please pick up a membership form at the library or visit the library website:   www.sedonalibrary.org.

    Members of the Friends Board are Charlene Lipka, President; Mary Snyder, Vice President; Ellen White, Secretary; Donna Hawk, Treasurer; Jawn McKinley, Trustee; and Anne Smith, Trustee. A special thank you to the Board and all who support the library through membership in the Friends group.

    I know that the Sedona Public Library is a source of pride for our community. Our Friends group is a source of pride as well. I hope this week everyone will support this outstanding group.

    The Sad Lesson of Tyre Nichols
    By Tommy Acosta
    Having grown up in the mean streets of the Bronx there is one lesson we learn early on, and that’s don’t mess with the cops when they got you down, and outnumbered. The beating of Tyre Nichols at the hands of the police preceding his death at the hospital could have been avoided if only he had the sense to not resist them. People fail to understand that on the streets, cops are basically “God.” You can’t fight them. If it takes one, two, five, ten or twenty officers they will eventually put you down and hurt you if they have to in the process of detaining or arresting you. In the Bronx we would fight amongst ourselves but when the cops came it was “Yes, officer. No, officer,” and do our best to look as innocent as possible. People need to understand that cops on the street represent the full power of the state and government. Read more→
