Sedona Receives Star Library Recognition
Sedona Public Library has been recognized as a Star Library among its peers for the fourth year in a row by "Library Journal" magazine. Only six libraries in the state of Arizona received this award in 2017. Our sincere thanks to the entire Sedona community--your support enables us to achieve this honor year after year!
Donor Spotlight
This month's donor spotlight is on Steve Ash Plumbing, and owners Steve and Ginger Ash. Steve is the son of Gene and Virgie Ash, who came to Sedona in 1945 and owned and ran Hart's Store--a butcher shop, grocery, and restaurant--through the 1950s (located where Oregano's is now). "I was born and raised in Sedona," Steve said. "Ginger says I am older than the rocks!"

Steve has owned his plumbing business for 45 years. The Ashes support the Library as donors, and Ginger is a library volunteer, but Steve is also one of the original contractors who donated labor to work on the construction of our building on White Bear Road. Steve has been a true-blue community member, donating labor to numerous community construction projects, including the public swimming pool, the ball parks, and soccer fields. Steve says, "I am so fortunate to have so many customers, many who have become good friends."
Early construction of the Library, built with the generous support of local contractors like Steve Ash. 
 
We are grateful for the generosity of people like the Ashes-- they help make Sedona the wonderful community that it is. Thanks, Steve, Ginger, and Steve Ash Plumbing for supporting Sedona Public Library.
