Participants make a generous donation at every session! Thank you, Natalie, and everyone at Stewart Title, for giving back to the community.
DID YOU KNOW?
Sedona Public Library is truly rooted in this community. The beautiful facility on White Bear Road was built entirely with support from 2,287 community donors over ten years: 1987-1997. Considering that the population of Sedona was approximately7,700 back then, this means nearly one third of Sedonans supported the library construction effort, and they gave more than $2.4 million.The building opened in 1994 and stands as a testament to the spirit of this beautiful community.
OUR MISSION

Sedona Public Library enriches lives by fostering lifelong learning and by ensuring that every member of the community and visitors have access to engaging ideas, information services, and cultural and civic activities.
