Sonoma County is blessed with a great library system for kids!…read more They have TONS of baby and kid programs for all different ages. Baby storytime, toddler wiggle time, read to a dog to practice your reading out loud, summer reading challenges, Lego groups, holiday art projects, guest shows, and so so much more and it's all FREE. If you are a new mom in the area you are in luck because all of the Sonoma County Library Branches have these benefits.

We really love this library; it's our favorite one in town. The resources, the wonderful staff, and…read moreespecially the fantastic kids' section are all amazing. However, we do have some concerns that make our visits a bit challenging. Parking is consistently a hassle, and we've noticed an increasing presence of homeless individuals both around and directly in front of the library, which can be uncomfortable. This became particularly troubling recently when a homeless individual on a bike nearly hit my 6-year-old daughter and then attempted to kick her. While we understand the library can't control what happens outside its doors, and we often see security personnel, it's disheartening that these issues persist. My children have even started referring to it as 'the homeless library,' which is sad given how much we value what it offers. We genuinely hope to see some improvements in the future, as we truly enjoy coming here.

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.

Fantastic library for a university, has desk top computers available for students to use, although…read moreupstairs staff are not very helpful. Did not help my daughter get a laptop to use for school even though they were available. I happened to fall down the stairs but that was on me. Floors were very clean so the fall wasn't that bad. Professionalism was available on the first floor and was given immediate help. There were many resources available to students, just wish they had given my daughter a computer to use during COVID. Very modern and clean library, lots of space for students to study and spend time in there. Nice outdoor clock as well.
