The mission of this organization is to "enrich the lives of residents and visitors by serving as a center for community activities and providing information, cultural, and civic services that are responsive, affordable, and enjoyable."

Specifically, the Library serves the needs of the community of Sedona, Arizona by providing youth and family services, community rooms, job finding resources, Internet access, online resources, print materials, eBooks, and entertainment services and much more.

Two residents of Sedona, Eugenia Wright and Helen Ecker, donated land on Jordan Road for a new library building.

Friends of the Sedona Public library raised more than $75,000 in August 1966, and a new building was complete on October 26, 1969.
