True Friends are Forever
On July 12, Friends of the Sedona Library donated $20,000 to Sedona Public Library for the new Courtyard. This gift will dedicate the area around the fire circle as the "Friends' Fire Circle," one of many lovely features of our new outdoor space. Then, just a week later, the Friends made an additional gift of $2,200 for the Library's Sedona Summer Youth Theatre Workshop which allowed 22 local kids to attend for free! The Friends' support, both this summer and for the last 55 years, has helped make us the wonderful community center that we are. Thank you, Friends!
