About
The Sustainability Resource Center was formed as a partnership
between Sustainable Arizona and the Sedona Public Library. This
pilot project was partially funded with some small grants from the
Sedona Community Foundation, the Yavapai Community Foundation and
Coconino County. They host a dynamic website at
www.SustainableArizona.org and provide public forums on water,
climate change, energy, green building, sustainable communities with
displays and full bibliography of resources at the library.
The Sedona Public Library offers a myriad of programs for all ages
and all interests. For information about this or any program as well
as the wide variety of services the Library offers, please call
282-7714. This program is free to all, although your donation to
support the Library's programming efforts is appreciated.
