Meet our New Youth Services Librarian, Cindy!
"I am excited to be joining you in the Library as your newest Youth Services Librarian! Previously, I have worked as an Elementary School Librarian in Richardson, Texas, and as a middle school English Teacher in Mesa, Arizona. My husband and I raised our three children mostly in Flagstaff and Cottonwood, and now that they are all in college, I am happy to be working in a library once again!
Some of my favorite picture books are the Pinkerton books, by Steven Kellogg. One of my favorite chapter book series is "The Chronicles of Narnia," by C.S. Lewis. And a Young Adult book that I recently enjoyed is "The Inheritance Games," by Jennifer Lynn Barnes. I have three Labrador Retrievers, and I enjoy playing with them and doing things outside, like gardening. And a fun fact about me is that I have been a hobby beekeeper for three years! I am looking forward to meeting you soon!"

Join us for Family Night!
Sedona Public Library is partnering again with the Arizona Science Center to host a Back to School Family Event, thanks to the generous support of AZ OnTrack. Families are invited to discover the wonder of science and to explore engaging STEM topics, win prizes, and spend quality time together through hands-on activities— all designed for back-to-school readiness.

When AZ Science Center and SPL in the Village partnered to host the week-long Camp Innovation this July, it was a hit with families. Here's what some parents had to say:
"I was blown away by how many hands-on science activities they did each day covering such a wide range of topics like animal adaptations, thermal energy, force and motion, and states of matter. This was absolutely an amazing program and so convenient to not have to worry about packing lunches and snacks. We would do this again without question. Thank you!!!" – Alexis Workman
“The camp sounded excellent. When Levi came home every day, he gave full reports and said that science became his favorite subject. Thank you SO much for having it. We will be attending each year if it is offered.” – Lindsay Krout
