| Read Around Sedona: One Book for One Community |
 Sedona Public Library is proud to hold its first-ever community reads program, Read Around Sedona. Our selected book is "House of Apache Fires," written by local author Morgan Jameson. This World War II thriller's action alternates between northern Arizona, including the Frye home located within Red Rock State Park, and Nazi Germany.
Copies of "House of Apache Fires" are available at the Library or to place on hold, and a limited number of sets are available for book clubs. You can also purchase the Kindle edition at Amazon.com or check out the EPUB edition on the Library's OverDrive ebooks platform.
As part of Read Around Sedona, the Library has planned events in Sedona and the Village of Oak Creek throughout April. Mark your calendar for the kick-off event, which will feature author Morgan Jameson and take place at the main library on Wednesday,
April 12.
This Arizona Community Reads project is supported by the Arizona State Library, Archives & Public Records, a division of the Secretary of State, with federal funds from the Institute of Museum and Library Services.

Donor Spotlight
|
Marisol Molina, Circulation/Volunteer Coordinator for Sedona Public Library, has recently become one of many employees who give back to the Library. Marisol manages our 149 volunteers, who give more than 14,000 hours of service each year. Additionally, Marisol participates in Saturday story time, where she reads to children in both Spanish and English.
 Marisol is committed to the Library, and as a philanthropic employee, she took advantage of the new payroll deduction system, an effortless way to support the Library she loves. She explains, "I give to the Library because it gives to me. I am curious, and I love learning new things. The Library is the community where I can share this newfound knowledge with others."
Many employees support the Library by annually renewing their membership with the Friends of Sedona Library, or they opt to give directly to the Library. Either way, the Library is grateful for the dedicated service of its employees and for their philanthropic values as donors. It's your Library, and it's our honor to support it, just like you do.
