Parking Lot Maintenance

|  Thank you for your patience while we sealed and restriped the parking lots at the end of April. The Library raised private funds to construct the library building, and keeps up on maintenance of the building and grounds with funds that are donated to our 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.
To keep your Library looking beautiful, please send your tax-deductible donation to: Sedona Public Library, 3250 White Bear Road, Sedona, AZ 86336. Or, you can make a donation online using the Donate button on the sidebar.
