The technology of electronic devices makes everything ten times more complicated . I used a very nice young Librarian who had to guide me through some challenging situations. Even she didn't understand why certain ways were not working. In the end we got through it. Eight dollars later everything was done. I ended up getting a new library card. This venture took both women at the help desk to get a ton of copies made. It did cost less at the library than through UPS. That can get costly. The Library staff was extremely professional and patient with me and my friend who are very technologically challenged.

Easy parking, quiet library with the perks of book sales, art shows and special exhibits to be seen when I walk in. The staff there are also cheery and helpful. The Healdsburg library is a small library with a big selection. When I want something, I just order it online and if it's in any of the Sonoma County libraries, it will show up in a few days in Healdsburg. They send me email when the item is available. The Healdsburg library also has a "Wine Library" where one can read books on all aspects of the wine vocation. There are many old books on the subject. The children's section is right by the book check out desk. I like seeing the children reading books or having a book read to them - and it's right by the checkout desk so they are being watched over all the time by patrons and library staff. The children always seemed well behaved; quietly talking or fidgeting in their chairs as they enjoy their books. Some big city libraries are creepy with people sleeping in chairs, learing around corners or aimlessly walking around. I've never seen anything like that in Healdsburg. I like that the library is close to Casa Del Mole so I can have lunch and purchase groceries if I need them when I visit the library. Did I mention the staff are helpful and friendly? They always greet me as if they are glad to see me... and I think they are!

If I were rating this library only on the professionalism and service of its staff and faculty,…read morethis institution would get a full five stars. The four stars is given because it is clear that more resources need to be directed their way, though through careful allocations and prudent Solomonic choices, and with special collections of local and regional importance, this library has managed to remain extremely useful. I am amazed at the level of service and the access to such a wide range of quality materials for those pursuing scholarly and creative pursuits. The staff and faculty librarians are extremely knowledgeable and skilled, and clever at chasing down obscure paths to sources I wouldn't have known how to find, and at time, that I wasn't even aware existed. They are extremely good at teaching patrons (students, university faculty, and community members) how to make use of a university library; this aspect is often under-appreciated or even entirely overlooked by those not familiar with the unique role of a university, and is thus often insufficiently funded. Over the past several years (perhaps going back five or more years), there has been a slow but steady and apparent tightening of the belt. Staffing has been limited, and as some have inevitably left or moved into other positions, the university has not been backfilling successfully enough. The library --including its faculty and staff-- is one of the central, most essential pillars of any reputable university, part of what makes a proper university what it is. It is the last place where cutbacks should be (or should have been) made, and with the slow economic upswing and the corresponding increase in taxpayer funds to public higher education, I am hoping this review could be updated to five stars.

I love libraries. Always have, always will…read more But university libraries? Typically a different story. They never feel too warm or welcoming. Often times, they look and feel and smell old, and stale. In short, I am loathe to spend much time in them. Not so with the SSU Library. For starters, it's a newer facade than most university libraries, with modern and practical furnishings inside. It's not so big that I get lost in it. And it accommodates all kinds of people - ranging from individuals or small groups of people, to larger groups and even classes looking for a place to meet. The first floor is good for group projects, collaborative homework assignments, or just hanging out with friends. The second floor is where I go when I want to work on less demanding assignments, or chat with a partner about something. And the third floor is perfect for writing seminar papers, because the quiet policy is adhered to and makes it a good environment for concentration. And with flexible hours (open every day, and until midnight on week nights) it's always open when I need it to be.
