All Sonoma County Library facilities are Closed
Posted on March 14, 2020
Effective 6 pm Saturday, March 14, 2020, all Sonoma County Library facilities are closed to the public.
This decision was not made lightly. It comes after a week of increasingly strict notices and advisories. We will continue to follow the recommendations of county and state officials, and will reopen as soon as we are told that it is safe to do so.
Book drops will be closed and locked. You are encouraged to hold onto and enjoy loaned items – due dates will be extended on all materials, including technology such as hotspots and Chromebooks. Our digital resources are available 24/7, as always.
I am confident that we will manage this crisis together, and I take comfort from your support for our libraries in this uncertain time.

Library Videos & Virtual Events
Posted on November 07, 2020
Sonoma County Library staff works hard to engage with our community with programs that supports literacy,
civic engagement, skill development, and community-building. Since the pandemic has limited public access to our buildings, our creative staff has found many new ways to provide services through Virtual Programming.
Video Programming from the Library
Are you curious about science, or looking for artistic inspiration or cooking tips? How about new story times for the kids?
We have hundreds of staff-recorded YouTube videos to amuse, entertain, inspire and educate. Our videos are relevant
and frequently focus on current seasons, news, trends, and commemorative observances, such as heritage months.
Our collection is always expanding, so bookmark this page or subscribe to our YouTube channel.
Virtual Events with the Library
We regularly schedule Virtual Events, which are live presentations with a librarian or other presenter.
These differ from recorded-video events because participants can interact with librarians as well as with the other patrons.
Most virtual events are hosted on the Zoom platform and require advance registration to protect patron privacy.
Check the library's virtual events calendar for dates and times, and to register to attend.
Virtual Readers’ Advisory
Do you miss browsing books in the library to find new reading materials? Are you wishing for one-on-one book
recommendations tailored just for your reading interests? Check out these virtual avenues to connect with library
staff to learn about something new, read something you’ve never read before and maybe even get a surprise!

Listen to "What’s the Story"
The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson
First published in 1959, Shirley Jackson's The Haunting of Hill House has been hailed as a perfect work of unnerving terror. It is the story of four seekers who arrive at a notoriously unfriendly pile called Hill House: Dr. Montague, an occult scholar looking for solid evidence of a "haunting"; Theodora, his lighthearted assistant; Eleanor, a friendless, fragile young woman well acquainted with poltergeists; and Luke, the future heir of Hill House. At first, their stay seems destined to be merely a spooky encounter with inexplicable phenomena. But Hill House is gathering its powers--and soon it will choose one of them to make its own.

What are Zines?
Zines (rhymes with greens) are small do-it-yourself publications that can be about anything—how-to guides, comics, a collection of poetry, an art book, etc. These DIY publications are generally reproduced and distributed in small batches.
The history of zinemaking is closely tied to social and political movements because as the Milwaukee Zine Fest organizers state, “Zines provide a safe, independent platform of expression for underrepresented and marginalized voices: Black, Indigenous & People of Color, young people, people with disabilities, the LGBTQ(+) community, persecuted religious groups, and people with limited economic resources” (https://www.binderymke.com/what-is-a-zine).
You Are Invited To Create A Zine!
DIY zine starter kits will be available for individuals aged 12 to 18 in limited quantities for curbside pick-up at the Central Santa Rosa, Guerneville Regional, Northwest Santa Rosa, Roseland Regional, Rohnert Park-Cotati, Sebastopol Regional, and Windsor Regional Library branches.
Please call your nearest branch to reserve a kit.
Each kit includes:
- Zine template (Feel free to use or create your own!)
- Paper
- Sharpie
- Glue stick
- Pencil
- Official Santa Rosa Zine Fest 2020 sticker
- Zine donation form
- A stamped envelope to submit your zine to the archive
Share and Archive Your Zine!
The Library wants to preserve your zines! You may submit your SRZF creation to be archived in the library’s special collections.
Submitted zines will be made into a collective zine of 2020 memories!
You may submit in two ways:
- Scan your zine or save a digital copy of your zine and upload to the Sonoma Responds portal.
- Sign the Zine donation form and send your zine through the mail to:
SR Zine Fest

¿Qué son las Zines?
Zines son pequeñas publicaciones de bricolaje que pueden ser sobre cualquier tema: guías prácticas, cómics, una colección de poesía, un libro de arte, etc. Estas publicaciones de bricolaje generalmente se reproducen y distribuyen en pequeños lotes.
La historia de la creación de fanzines está estrechamente ligada a los movimientos sociales y políticos porque, como afirman los organizadores del Milwaukee Zine Fest, “los zines brindan una plataforma de expresión segura e independiente para las voces subrepresentadas y marginadas: negrxs, indígenas y de color, jóvenes, personas con discapacidades, la comunidad lesbiana, gay, bisexual y transgénerx+, grupos religiosos perseguidos y personas con recursos económicos limitados” (https://www.binderymke.com/what-is-a-zine).
¡Estás invitado a crear un Zine!
Los kits de inicio de zine de bricolaje estarán disponibles para personas de 12 a 18 años en cantidades limitadas para que los recojan en la acera en las sucursales de la Biblioteca Central de Santa Rosa, Guerneville Regional, Noroeste de Santa Rosa, Roseland Regional, Rohnert Park-Cotati, Sebastopol Regional y Windsor Regional.
Llame a su sucursal más cercana para reservar un kit.
Cada kit incluye:
- Plantilla de Zine (¡Siéntete libre de usar o crear el tuyo propio!)
- Papel
- Sharpie
- Barra de pegamento
- Lápiz
- Pegatina oficial del Santa Rosa Zine Fest 2020
- Formulario de donación de Zine
- Un sobre sellado para enviar su zine al archivo
¡Comparte y archiva tu Zine!
¡La biblioteca quiere preservar sus zines! Puede enviar su creación de SRZF para que se archive en las colecciones especiales de la biblioteca.
¡Las revistas enviadas se convertirán en una revista colectiva de memorias de 2020!

Curbside Printing
Posted on October 06, 2020
The Library is pleased to offer free printing through our Curbside Pickup service. If you have document(s) that need to be printed in black and white and/or color the Library will print it for you and have it waiting for you as part of our Curbside Pickup service. The Library will allow 30 black and white pages or 10 color pages to be printed free of charge. We cannot allow for larger print jobs at this time.
If you have a computer, smartphone or tablet and have access to the internet, you can print from any location and have your items sent to your local library for printing. Print jobs can be stored for up to 24 hours.
Curbside Printing Step-by-Step
Step One: Send the print job to a library branch printer.
Choose from one of the following three methods to send the print job to your local library for pickup:
- Access the PrinterON website for the pickup branch
- Send an email personalized for the pickup branch to your local library with your documents. Email addresses are listed per branch on the left-hand side of this page.
- Use the PrinterOn Mobile App, available on Google Play or the Apple iTunes Store
Step Two: Visit your local library during Curbside Pickup hours to retrieve your document. When you arrive:
- Locate the Curbside Pickup area.
- Call the library with your first and last name, and email address. If you don’t have a mobile phone, please call the library branch from home with an estimated time of arrival. Please allow up to fifteen minutes for your document(s) to be retrieved and printed.
- Your document(s) will be placed in an envelope on the curbside pickup table.
- Allow staff to leave the curbside pickup area completely before retrieving your envelope.

Library Offering Spooky Stories for Adults
Posted on September 30, 2020
Sonoma Scares
Love frightening stories? Sonoma Scares is an adult series of videos posted twice a week on the Sonoma County Library YouTube channel for the month of October— check it out and subscribe: www.youtube.com/user/sonomalibrary
Sonoma Asusta
¿Te encantan las historias aterradoras? Sonoma Asusta es una serie de videos para adultos que se publicará dos veces por semana en el canal de YouTube de la Biblioteca del Condado de Sonoma durante el mes de octubre. Échale un vistazo y suscríbete: www.youtube.com/user/sonomalibrary
Looking for something spooky this season? Try Sonoma Scares, a special Halloween event series for adults from the Sonoma County Library. Eight librarians, including Library Director Ann Hammond, have chosen scary stories to perform on the library’s YouTube channel starting Wednesday, October 7, at 7 p.m. The stories will be available under the Sonoma Scares playlist as they are released. Stories will air twice a week on Wednesday and Saturday evenings throughout the month of October, ending with a final show on Halloween.
A literary program that celebrates the season, Sonoma Scares videos enhance the story-reading experience with music and visual effects.
“Why should children have all the storytime fun? That was some of the thinking behind this program,” said Sonoma County Library Librarian Emma Wendel, one of the performers and leads on the project. “Hosting a series of scary stories for Halloween aimed at adult patrons elevates storytime into a unique and seasonal event.”
The series will include classic tales of horror, most available in the public domain or available to request in the Sonoma County Library’s catalog. The stories include:
- “The Cask of Amontillado” by Edgar Allan Poe
- “The Raven” by Edgar Allan Poe
- “The Tell-Tale Heart” by Edgar Allan Poe
- “The Isle of Pines” by Ambrose Bierce
- “La Llorona” by Angel Vigil
- A selection from Dracula by Bram Stoker
- Three poems by Emily Dickinson
- “An Arrest” by Ambrose Bierce
Subscribe to the library’s YouTube channel to get notified of the videos as they are released, and visit sonomalibrary.org for more information on this program and others offered at your local library.
