Local history, genealogy and adult literacy services of the Sonoma County Library will be temporarily relocated to the Santa Rosa Central Library (211 E Street) starting September 4, due to an upgrade of the Library Annex facility located at 725 Third Street behind the Central Library.

The Library’s History and Genealogy staff will provide one-on-one research assistance at the Central Library daily from 1-5 pm (Monday through Saturday) and by appointment. The Adult Literacy program, which pairs adult learners and tutors to help with basic reading and writing, will be available 10 am to 3 pm Monday through Saturday in the same location.

The Library Annex will close for 8-10 weeks beginning August 27. The collection of local history and genealogy materials normally kept in the Annex will be available to library visitors upon request. Volunteers from the Sonoma County Genealogical Society will also be available to assist visitors on Wednesdays and Fridays between 1-4 pm at the Central Library. English Conversation classes and Reach Your Goals classes will also continue on a regular schedule.

The library looks forward to welcoming visitors, learners and researchers to the Central Library during this temporary change in service location.
