Sedona Public Library will offer a fine-free week during the celebration of National Library Week. No fines will be charged on overdue items returned from Monday, April 9 through Saturday, April 14.

This is our way of saying "thank you" to the community for supporting the Library through volunteer hours, donations of books and other items, and financial contributions.  Sedona Public Library is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation, which relies on the community for support.

Award-winning writer and editor Lynda Exley is coauthor of "Arizona Way Out West & Wacky," which was named the 2012 OneBookAZ for Kids. 

Lynda will be visiting us Monday, April 9, to discuss some of Arizona's zaniest legends, humorous history and fun factoids. Join us for games, prizes, and giveaways at 1:30 PM in the Library's Si Birch Community Room.

During the Library's annual quilt show, Justine Shaffner of Colorado visited Sedona.  In a recent email to us, she wrote:

"Thank you for being so helpful and welcoming when I visited your library in January.  I just published the blog post on Sedona Public Library... Best wishes and congratulations on building a truly gorgeous library that is obviously a great source of community pride."

We were delighted with Justine's post, which captured a typical day, and invite you to read her description of our "stunning library."

Join the community book discussion of "Hopi Summer: Letters from Ethel to Maud," by Carolyn O'Bagy Davis, on Wednesday, April 25.  The program begins at 1:30 PM at Sedona Winds, 405 Jacks Canyon Road.  Books are available at SPL-V.
