The Debate Over Net Neutrality
Can You Be Neutral About ‘Net Neutrality’? (Points of View)
Posted on December 10, 2017
What is Net Neutrality:
“Internet, or "net," neutrality is the idea that Internet users should have equal access to all Internet content and that corporations and government agencies should not restrict access to Internet sites or services. The debate began in the early 2000s, and the term "net neutrality" was first coined by Columbia University law professor Tim Wu in 2003. The net neutrality debate covers both government regulations that censor Internet content and efforts by Internet service providers (ISPs) to restrict or reduce access to certain sites and services to increase their profits.” (Isuit)
Why Does it Matter Now?
“The Federal Communications Commission will vote Dec. 14 on a plan to undo the landmark 2015 rules that had placed Internet service providers like Comcast and Verizon under the strictest-ever regulatory oversight.” (Selyukh)
Gaining Perspective:
The Sonoma County Library has an excellent online resource where you may read about controversial topics to become more well informed. ‘Points of View’ offers topic overview, critical analysis, as well as both point and counterpoint arguements. Go to: www.sonomalibrary.org -> Research -> Databases -> Points of View (library card & pin)
Not sure where to begin? Ask the Young Adult Librarian at your local branch of the Sonoma County Library.
We’re here for you.

Black books matter... and not just in February.
Did you know that books are powerful tools of social justice?
Books hold a place in our culture as mirrors, windows, and doors.
Everyone should be able to walk into a library and see books that mirror their own life experiences. “When [people] cannot find themselves reflected in the books they read, or when the images they see are distorted, negative, or laughable, they learn a powerful lesson about how they are devalued in the society of which they are a part.” (Bishop)
Books allow the reader to look through the lens of a window and delve into a world different from their own, offering opportunities for greater understanding and empathy with others.
Reading can also be a way of actually stepping through 'sliding glass doors' into a reality that you never even knew existed.
Below you'll find a list of various titles by/for/about black lives and experiences. Go ahead... look in the mirror. Open the window, and walk through the door. It's worth the scroll.

Imagine if Teens Could Vote!
Posted on October 25, 2017
In today’s society, often times it might seem like teenagers don’t have a lot of control over their world. Most teens have to keep their parent(s) and their teachers happy--tasks which basically add up to the equivalent of a full-time job. Until they turn 18, voting in local & national elections isn’t possible. So, where can young adults express their opinions and let their voices be heard?
Here’s a little secret. Young Adult Librarians across the country and all around the globe care about teens, and we always want to know what you think. Here’s just one example. We’ve listened to teenagers from around the world who recently voted on the top 10 young adult books from 2016… and we are happy to share the results here, check them out!
YALSA Official 2017 Teens’ Top Ten titles announced:
If you haven’t already read these titles, they just might be worth adding to your TBR list… at least, that’s what teens around the globe are telling us! Meanwhile, keep reading those 2017 books so that you’ll be ready to submit your own nominations when the time is right.

Do You Like a Good Challenge?
Posted on October 03, 2017
This past summer, the Sonoma County Library found out that yes indeed--teens do thrive when offered the pressure and perspective of a decent challenge! Studies show that students who read at least six books over the summer beat the “summer slide” and start school in the fall ready to learn--so we decided to offer a little bit of motivation to help make that happen.
Teens across Sonoma County read book after book, and received prize after prize all summer long... including free books, treats, earbuds, book bags, gift cards, and of course a raffle ticket for the GRAND PRIZE: a Chromebook!
Now that students are back in school, you might be wondering who managed to escape the “summer slide”... AND, who won those fabulous Chromebooks from the various branches of the Library?
More teens than ever participated in the TeenRead program. Many played, most had fun, and a few lucky souls were the winners of the 6 Book Challenge raffle tickets. If you didn't win, we hope you at least had a great summer full of incredible and fantastic books. Curious about the lucky winners? Scroll down for the photo gallery.
Congrats to our TEEN READ 2017 GRAND PRIZE WINNERS!
These lucky teens who participated in the teen summer reading program won a CHROMEBOOK!!

More Path to College Workshops Announced
Posted on September 27, 2017
The Sonoma County Library is continuing our popular Path to College workshops supporting college-bound high school students and their families. With these workshops the Library seeks to meet the needs of students through all stages of the college preparation and application process.

We’re proud to support these students and give them the information they need to achieve their higher education goals.

The Library will be providing workshops this fall on writing compelling college application essays and answers to the UC prompts; approaching the college application process with confidence and a plan; paying for college and completing the online FAFSA; and planning ahead for the transfer from a Junior College to a 4-year University. All workshops are led by qualified local experts and are free and open to high school students and their families.
