September is Library Card Sign-up Month: We invite you to apply for a card at the main library in West Sedona or online. If you live in the Sedona area or the Village of Oak Creek, visit the library’s website (sedonalibrary.org), choose “How Do I…?” from the top menu, and choose “Get a Library Card” in the drop down menu. Agree to the Yavapai Library Network User Agreement and click the orange “I Accept” button. Then fill out the form.
We’ll get back to you with your new library card number and PIN. Your card will give you access to all of our online resources for six months. You’ll need to come in to the Library to update your account and pick up your library card if you want to check out books, DVDs, magazines, audiobooks on CD, and more.
Lost your card? During September we are waiving the $5 replacement card fee. So stop in and get yourself a new card, completely free of charge.
