Donor Spotlight
Making their second home in Sedona, Terri and Glen Gill have joined our community from Sugar Land, Texas.

As many newcomers do, they found the landscape and ambiance of this place too good to resist. They also quickly discovered--and fell in love with--Sedona Public Library. Their granddaughter loves story time, offered three times a week in the children's room. "She associates Grandma and Grandpa's home in Sedona as the place with Pooh and story time," Terri explains.

The Gill family showed their appreciation for all the Library does in the community and for their family when they invested in a leaf on the Grandchildren's Tree.

Welcome to the Gills, and thank you for contributing so generously to your new community!
