Opportunities and Fun at the Village Library

Library Culture Pass opens Arizona to you

Aside from the usual “Where does the time go?” and “Yeah, but it’s a dry heat” musings that I make over dinner, I’ve barely scratched the surface of all the places to go and things to do in Arizona. And I’ve lived here over eight years.

We took a trip to the Grand Canyon and toured the red rocks with a jeep tour, but surely there must be more, right?

The next time you visit Sedona Public Library in the Village, ask staff to show you where the Act One Culture Passes are located! You’ve never heard of the Act One Culture Pass? It is a partnership between Act One, the Library, and local and statewide cultural and art institutions. Many libraries participate in the program, and we are proud to offer this exciting program to our cardholders, for free.

The Act One Culture Pass, available to our library card holders, is a great way to access some of the greatest cultural and art institutions that Arizona has to offer. The next time you visit Sedona Public Library in the Village, look for the Act One Culture Pass display and see the myriad of red passes to Arizona museums and other attractions. Choose the place you’d like to visit, grab the pass, see a librarian to check it out, and receive free admission--one visit for two--at a participating institution. Act One Culture Passes are available on a first-come, first-served basis, with a limit of one pass at a time, and you have one week to use it.

Andrea Lohtka, reference librarian, said, “We receive consistently rave reviews from people who have used these free passes, and the best part is you don’t have to return a thing.” She also reminds users that they should always check the operating hours for locations they want to visit, near or far.

Don’t have a library card yet? This is a great reason to get one! All you need is valid photo identification and proof of your current address to get a free library card. It’s that simple! Visit sedonalibrary.org, for complete details and restrictions on the Act One Culture Pass program. To find out which passes are currently available, call 928-282-7714.
