Participants report being motivated
to change their lifestyles after they
were screened—some were even made
aware of serious health issues by taking
part in the program.
Regardless of your approach to
healthcare, whether you favor conventional, alternative, or complementary
remedies, you’ll find a book, newsletter,
or magazine to guide you. The Library
adds the latest diet, exercise, and health
books every month—and if you don’t
find what you need, a reference librarian can help you locate it.

Connecting You
to Lifelong Learning
Whether you want to take up knitting, learn a new language, or acquire
accounting skills, the Library has what
you need to make your goals a reality in
a format that suits your learning style.

Exercise your brain with one of the
many continuing education opportunities
available online from the Library. Universal Class, LearningExpress, and Mango
Languages offer courses for your personal enrichment or professional advancement. There are dozens of classes
to pick from—visit our website or talk
to a librarian to find the right course for
you. Enjoy live presentations? Attend
the Library’s popular Arizona Humanities speaker events and learn about history, archaeology, music, food, culture,
and more. In response to community
demand, we’ve doubled the number of
Arizona Humanities programs offered,
from six to twelve per year.

Connecting You
to Financial Security
No matter what your financial or career status, the Library can connect you
to resources to help you with money
matters and employment.
We offer a public computer dedicated to job-seekers that provides Internet access, word processing software,
free printing, and special features for
job applicants. Over the years, library
reference staff have helped many individuals apply for and secure local jobs.
You might know someone who started
their career at the Library!
Every year, the Library cooperates with the AARP Foundation to offer tax help. AARP Tax-Aide provides

free tax help
for taxpayers,
with special
attention to
those who are
60 and older.
From February
through April,
trained volunteers are available to prepare returns and answer questions in
the Library’s community room.

Connecting You to Technology
Technology and the digital landscape
are changing every day, and the Library
enables you to stay connected to the latest innovations. Library patrons and visitors have access to Internet computers,
Wi-Fi, and printing, scanning, and faxing
services. Free classes and workshops
help you keep up-to-date with mobile
devices and personal computers.
Want to explore the world of ereaders and e-books? Check out one of
our pre-loaded Nooks or download ebooks to your own e-reader through the
Library’s OverDrive digital collection.
As you can see, the Library connects
our community in so many ways. Come
to the Library and tap into knowledge
and information, recreation and clubs,
art and culture, computers and technology, and so much more. At Sedona Public Library, the possibilities are endless,
so dream big!
