Coffee with a Vet
|
 Did you know that Sedona Public Library is an official partner with the Library of Congress in the national Veterans History Project? (To learn more, visit the Project's website.) The volunteers of the Veterans History Project are hosting free "Coffee with a Vet" events on Tuesday, August 13, and on Monday, August 26, in the Si Birch Community Room from 10 a.m. to noon. We will be enjoying coffee, cookies, and conversation and sharing information about this worthwhile endeavor. We'd love to have you join us. Bring a friend, your spouse, or your neighbors: especially if they are veterans who have not yet been interviewed. Everyone is welcome!

Foreign-Film Section Debuts in August
|
 Starting this month, foreign films will be labeled with a bright red "Foreign Film" sticker. You'll begin seeing the labels on new foreign films added to the popular collection, and in a few weeks, all foreign films in the regular DVD collection will be labeled and separated into their own section. This makes it easier for foreign-film lovers to identify international movies and for those who prefer not to read subtitles to make a different selection. The new foreign-film area will be located next to the Spanish-language film section, which will remain a distinct collection. |
