Celebrate Love Your Library Month

This February, Sedona Public Library is celebrating Love Your Library Month. It’s our way of encouraging you to take advantage of the many free services we offer and for you to demonstrate your support for the Library.
       
Show your spirit all month by wearing a “Love Your Library” button.  Get your free button at the main library in West Sedona (3250 White Bear Rd.) or Sedona Public Library in the Village (51A Bell Rock Plaza). Pick up your button today and show your pride. We want to see Love Your Library buttons all over town!

Haven’t been to the Library recently?  Dust off your library card and come see what’s new.  We have e-readers available for loan and free e-books to download to your own device.  Check out our extensive collection of DVDs, including blockbuster movies, television series, and foreign films.
 
If you don’t have a library card, now is the perfect time to apply for one.  Stop by either of our locations with your photo ID and proof of local residency. Your library card is free and will give you access to over one million library materials at 42 libraries in the Yavapai Library Network.

Lost your card?  During February we are waiving the $5 replacement card fee.  So stop in and get a new card, completely free of charge.
