This is a nice, little, two-story library we regularly visit with our kiddo that is bright with…read morenatural light. It has seating nooks & a life-sized fake tree in the kids section that adds whimsy. STEAM bins can be checked out for in-library use. They also have sensory kits, adventure packs, & storytime kits available. An arts & crafts table offers changing simple activities like coloring. Though some of the seating is worn, the space always seems tidy. Staff at the front desk are welcoming, friendly, approachable, & helpful. The DIY check out & return systems are convenient & user friendly. There is a section of books & media for purchase. It's located at Mahany Park, next door to the Utility Exploration Center, which expands a nice family experience. There's plenty of parking for everyone using all the other parks & recreation facilities in the complex as well.

This review is strictly regarding the Aquatics Complex at Sierra college…read more The USA swimming team that calls this place home hosts meets at this location on a regular basis. First the facility has been great for location for short course meets as they have a 10 lane 25 yard pool as well as a warm up pool. The site has ample parking as well as the equipment to handle these types of meets. During meets they use the lower decks of the garage so that swimmers can set up chairs and tents and this is an awesome feature especially when it is wet and rainy. This still leaves the entire parking structure open. The only issue that the aquatics complex has is that there are not enough bathrooms for larger competitions. Otherwise it has all the other amenities you would like for swim meets!

I went to Sierra College from 1995 until 1998, with the odd botany class thrown in right before I…read moregraduated from Sac State. It was a great school then with a diverse student body, wonderful teachers all active in their fields of instruction, and the counselors and staff were very helpful and efficient. My son is now a freshman there, and while it's nice that he's a second generation Wolverine in a nice new dorm room, the school has drastically gone downhill. Many of the staff in the administration and financial aid departments are rude and unhelpful, most of the classes are now of a middling quality, and a cursory glance at the school would make an outsider think the place is a PSA for LBGTQ allyship. Are there any other clubs on campus? InterVarsity? Debate club? Language club? We don't know. They might have flyers on some bulletin board somewhere, but it's hard to say. Meanwhile, LBGTQ gets a dedicated room in the cafeteria, the school goes out of its way to promote itself as a safe place, and Weaver Hall, which used to house math classes and is now the Humanities building, is full of Pride-related signage and a giant Pride flag. Oh, and let's not forget the display case of vibrators prominently featured on the second floor. I hate to say it, but I can't in good conscience recommend Sierra anymore. LGBTQ might be safe there, but anyone else? Maybe, maybe not. If anyone's Christian, Muslim, or even remotely right of the political center, very likely not, because heaven forbid anyone disagree with the school's politics. Even Gertrude Stein and Walt Whitman would probably look at this place and say, "OK, we get that you're allies. There's more to life, though, people."

It is gated with the front yard maintenance included with your HOA. The streets are wide and all the yards are well maintained. There isn't hardly any traffic and many residents walk in this neighborhood. There are a few small park areas that are nicely landscaped and are over looking a gorgeous view of the valley below. One of the streets has a locked gate which residents have a key that takes you down to Whitney Oaks Golf Club. There are two clubhouses for the residents. The large clubhouse that has the pool and exercise facility is called The Gables. A lot of activities and gatherings are held at The Gables. The Oaks is the smaller clubhouse which is located adjacent to The Gables. Residents receive a newsletter each month with all the club activities so you can plan your social calendar.

This year I learned about seed libraries!…read more Found out online that this location has a seed library (the only one I've found in Placer County) so I stopped by this week. But before making the drive out here, I decided to call and verify that they did have one. The person who answered the phone (I think her name was Dorothy) was very friendly and upbeat. She said that yes, they do have a seed library and that it was right next to the front desk. It was my first experience ever with a seed library so it was quite interesting. Basically the library gives away free seeds! At this location, they have these little drawers with labeled packets of seeds and you just write in the binder which seed packets you're taking (limit 5). They also have nice little color brochures with a planting calendar for Placer County. Took my 5 little packets home and was feeling pretty excited. I just got 5 free packets of seeds! :) Got home and decided to start some bell pepper seeds. Opened the packet that was labeled "California Wonder Sweet Peppers" and was startled to find little black seeds inside. While I'm no master gardener, I do know what bell pepper seeds look like and these definitely were not it. I compared them to my broccoli and cabbage seeds, that looked slightly similar, but these black seeds were of a different size. Figured somehow they had just gotten mislabeled and it might be an adventure to plant these mystery seeds and see what plant pops up. :P Decided to start some eggplant seeds so I opened the second packet labeled "Long purple eggplant." Inside the packet consisted of 5 seeds--2 black, 3 cream/yellow. What the?! The cream/yellow ones could pass for eggplant seeds (or even possibly bell pepper seeds) but they were definitely not little black seeds like the two inside this packet. And why would ONE variety consist of two different types of seeds? I then realized the seed library would probably not be the best place to get accurately-labeled seeds. You might want a bell pepper plant and end up getting a basil plant instead. But hey, it's free, right? Another thing that concerned me was that on their website, they suggest that you plant the seeds and then save some seeds and return them to the library. In my experience, there's a lot of cross pollination that goes on with plants so you can't really save seeds from your plant and expect it to be the exact same variety. *shrug* Maybe their seeds somehow don't get cross-pollinated or something? But anyways, it was a fun experience to see a Placer County seed library. We'll see if anything grows from the seeds!

There are informational brochures and leaflets of the city's happenings and other museums too. There is no admission fee but a donation box can be located in the center of the museum. I would say, the museum is busy from time to time, there were three more group guests when my family were in.

I spent a lot of my childhood at my Grandma's house in Loomis, scurrying to the top of the playset to watch as trains flew past. I loved falling asleep to the gentle sounds of steel wheels hitting train tracks as a kid, and now that I live in midtown Sacramento, I still get to hear it, and it makes me happy. I'll stop being a Sheldon Cooper, and get on with it. Although trains have not stopped here for many years, the Loomis Train Depot has recently been restored to its former glory as a historical point of interest train station in the heart of the town of Loomis. You can't miss it. Just follow Horseshoe Bar Road from the Loomis exit off of I-80, past Taylor Road, until it dead ends at Blue Anchor Park, behind Taylor's, where you should also stop for a Golden Eagle Shake. GO DOHS! It is currently the site of town hall meetings, and inside you'll find a gavel and courtroom style chair set up along with a small train museum for enthusiasts. It's also an awesome venue for a small party or in this month's case, a bridal shower. There are plenty of chairs, tables, and a kitchen complete with sink, trash cans, microwave and fridge. I liked this location as a venue so much that I have my eye on it for the future.
