    Sedona AZ (June 24, 2016) – If you need reading recommendations, ask a Sedona Public Library volunteer. Many of our volunteers retired from exciting professions before coming on board with SPL. Careers included architecture, engineering, nursing, education, and libraries to name a few. 

    These volunteers bring a plethora of interests and hobbies to their service. From gardening and jewelry making to cooking and motorcycle riding, they have much to offer our patrons, and of course, they are avid readers. Learn more about our volunteers to discover their reading recommendations.

    Florence Shreve divides her time between volunteering at the Village Library and a library in Willard, Ohio. She is reading The End Game by Katherine Coulter and plans to read J.D. Robb next. Florence enjoys meeting our patrons and likes seeing the different books that circulate.

    You may recognize Carol Stetser from the Main Library. She has volunteered for many years and remembers the original library on Jordan Road.   Carol volunteers at the Village Library on Tuesday afternoons and at the Main Library on Wednesday mornings. She recently finished Elena Ferrante’s four Neapolitan novels; she said “They are amazing.” She volunteers at the Village Library because of its relaxed atmosphere where she sees her neighbors and meets new people.

    Stop by the Village Library on Thursday afternoons to meet Holly Mason who just finished Me Before You by Jojo Moyes and is reading When Breath Becomes Air by Paul Kalanthi. This neurosurgeon memoir appealed to Holly, a career nurse.

    Holly shared, “I enjoy volunteering at the library because of the very nice people I get to work with and because I feel like I am getting to know this community better.”

    Valerie Girard volunteers at the Village Library every Wednesday afternoon. She is reading The Night Manager by John le Carré, and next up is The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah.

    “What I enjoy most about volunteering for the library, besides chatting with people, is the exposure to the materials that come across the desk. I love the randomness of coming across something unknown or only vaguely recalled,” remarked Valerie.

    I appreciate working with the library volunteers who are simply essential to the success of this non-profit organization. Hats off to each of our dedicated volunteers at Sedona Public Library in the Village: Dale Albright, Mary Banvard, Eddie Gibson, Valerie Girard, Janice LaDuke, Ilana Maletz, Holly Mason, Olga Ostrom, Sara Schjeide, Diane Schwilling, Florence Shreve, Aurelia Simon, Carol Stetser, Bruce Vegter, Dotte Vande Linde, Dennis Young, and Lynn Zonakis.

    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.
