March Break and Youth Services
|
This month, Sedona will be welcoming many young visitors as March school break happens throughout the country. The actual week varies from state to state, so we typically see new faces in Sedona all month long. We encourage visitors to participate like locals at the Library!
We have three drop-in story time classes every week for the under six crowd, featuring read aloud stories, songs and rhymes, simple signing, and craft activities. Kaleido Gears, Snap Circuits, Roominate, Perplexus, and a Makey Makey are always available for the curious and creative older child, and of course we can help you find just the right book for a good red rock read. Use grandma's library card, or get a short-term card by providing a refundable deposit.
For details about youth programming, view the
library calendar or call 928-282-7714, ext. 119.
