Thank You! We are more than halfway to meeting our end-of-year match because of you! Giving Tuesday was a huge success thanks to 86 donors who made $21,000 dollars in donations to Sedona Public Library! To learn all about how we renew more than books and put your generosity to work, click here. The $40,000 match will continue through the end of the year, so you can still make twice the difference in your community with a matching gift to your Library. Just click here to make an online gift, and remember, your gifts can be directed to the Village Library. Thanks to everyone, especially our three matching donors! What a great way to begin the holiday season!
