Book clubs have been a popular way to discover new authors and talk about books for years. But a trend that’s been sweeping the country takes the book club out of living rooms and into an entire community.
Sedona Public Library (SPL) is launching a community-wide reading program called Read Around Sedona, with “House of Apache Fires,” written by local author Morgan Jameson, as the first selection. This historical fiction novel set during World War II takes place in Sedona, Flagstaff and the Frye home in Red Rock State Park. The action-packed plot mixes real historic characters like Jack and Helen Frye with fictional Nazis embarked on a daring sabotage mission. There are several ways to participate in Read Around Sedona. If you belong to a book club, encourage your book club to read and discuss the book. SPL will have several copies available for circulation. If you need assistance placing a hold, please contact the Library. You may also purchase the Kindle edition from Amazon or check out the EPUB edition on the Library’s OverDrive ebooks platform. As part of Read Around Sedona, the Library has planned several events in Sedona and the Village of Oak Creek. Please check the events calendar on the Library website at www.sedonalibrary.org or call the Library to confirm the location.
All programs are free and open to the public. The 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 the Institute of Museum and Library Services. For more information, please contact Galen Worthington at SPL at 928.282.7714, extension 116 or Cheryl Yeatts at SPL-V at 928.284.1603. We are excited about this opportunity for our community and hope you will support and participate in Read Around Sedona. Comments are closed.
