Sonoma County Library branches expand in-person hours

Sonoma County Library locations are now open six days a week with expanded service hours, and Central Santa Rosa Library is now open on Sundays. Vaccinated patrons are not required to wear masks, and visitors are not required to observe physical distancing requirements. Unvaccinated patrons must wear masks, and no person with COVID‐19 or COVID‐19 related symptoms may enter a library facility.

“Our doors are open, and we invite community members to come back to their library branch and browse and borrow library materials, use the computer, and engage with library staff,” Sonoma County Library Director Ann Hammond said. “We thank our patrons and staff for their patience over the last months as we navigated reopening gradually and safely.”
