Displays at the Library
|
Drop by the Library to view these colorful displays:
- The stunning annual quilt display, which runs through February 25.
- The Northern Arizona Watercolor Society exhibit of paintings, on display from February 6 through 18.
- Check out a book from the "Blind Date with a Book" display, up through Valentine's Day. Books will be wrapped in festive packages, and you are encouraged to open the package after leaving the Library, to uncover the mystery of your book's identity. This is an excellent way to explore other genres that you might not usually be "attracted" to. Who knows, maybe it will be love at first page!

Donor Spotlight
|
Gifts are often made to Sedona Public Library honoring loved ones, a location, or even a career.
Robert Cotter (known to his friends as "Cotter"), a regular patron of the Library, has honored his teaching career and his nine-year-old twin grandchildren, Madison and Michael, with the gift of a lovely statue of two children reading.
Cotter taught English, speech, and drama in Chicago and Arizona, mostly in Chinle on the Navajo Reservation. He is grateful to the Library, a place "that makes dreams come true," for accepting a gift that represents his 40-year career and celebrates all people who love to read.
"To share the love of reading is my dream," Cotter adds. "Be happy. Be passionate. Be strong. Embrace, and dream on."
