Sonoma County Library

I love that I can select a book online and if they don’t have it they’ll call me when it’s in from another library.
What I don’t enjoy about this library is how dark and small it is. Also I don’t find the staff very friendly. Is it really that hard to give a smile?

I bring my boyfriends daughter here every Tuesday we pick out books for her bedtimes for the week and every Tuesday volunteers bring their dogs for little kids to read to. Now she’s so excite to tell stories out of books to our dogs. I’m really glad they do that

Nice, modern, comfy, clean, quiet little library. Only knock against it is small size and thus «meh» book selection.
Don’t miss the little Friends Of The Library book sale just inside the door, though. $ 1 all paperbacks and $ 2 all hardcovers, with a surprisingly big selection for such a little place. You can grab some unreal deals here.

A couple years ago, I might given this place a four, but there now as a student at UC Berkeley, with access to one of the best libraries in the world, I’m sad to say «I’ve experienced better» =(
I grew up going to this library, checking out books here, using the internet here, signing up for the summer reading program, being a volunteer here, using the computers here, doing homework here, and its always nostalgic when I come here. Definitely brings back memories. I wish the place was more modern looking though and the technology was more up to date.
I really love the staff here. They’ve all been around for as long as I can remember and they’re all very personal and helpful when you need assistance with anything. There are better libraries out there, but in Petaluma, this is about as good as it gets sadly.

I love my local library! It isn’t as up to date or architecturally marvelous as some of the others I have been to, but it’s mine. Comfy, quiet, and nice staff. Plus lots of programs and activities.
