Read Around Sedona is an Arizona Community Reads program, 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. 

Sedona Public Library is celebrating its 60th anniversary in April, and what better way to congratulate the "Jewel of Sedona," your public library, than by making a gift at www.azgives.org on Arizona Gives Day, Tuesday, April 3.

We are proud of six decades of serving the residents of Sedona and the Verde Valley, and we look forward to the next 60 years. Consider a commemorative gift of $60, $60 a month, or even $600. Thanks in advance for supporting Sedona Public Library.

When you give at www.azgives.org, you are part of a statewide effort to support the nonprofits you love, like Sedona Public Library, a nonprofit, 501(c)(3) organization.  

The AARP's free Tax-Aide service is very popular again this year, and will run through Tuesday, April 17. Volunteers are available in the community room on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. The Tax-Aide service is offered on a first-come, first-serve basis.
