The Sonoma County Library will soon be on the Literary Landmark map, dedicating a Literary Landmark in honor of Charles M. Schulz. United for Libraries, a division of the American Library Association, has dedications at homes and places of interest of hundreds of famous authors throughout the United States. Each Literary Landmark is designated for a special location in each community tied to its literary figure.
As a resident of Sonoma County for over 40 years, Charles Schulz’s influence lives on as we are greeted by Peanuts characters throughout the county. Schulz is remembered for bringing to life stories of the Peanuts gang, including Charlie Brown, Snoopy, and Lucy, who are seen through comic strips, books, television, and the big screen. In partnership with the Charles M. Schulz Museum and Research Center, the Sonoma County Library is proud to display a Literary Landmark at the entrance of the Central Library in Santa Rosa. The Central Library is an integral staple of the county and a space where many discover Schulz’s work and are greeted by Chuck (Charlie Brown), an honorary resident of the county himself, as they walk through the doors of the Branch.
At 1:00 PM on August 10th, the Sonoma County Library, Charles M. Schulz Museum, and Schulz Family will dedicate the Literary Landmark at the Central Library. In celebration of the life and work of Charles M. Schulz, the Literary Landmark will be a permanent addition to a lasting institution for future Sonoma County generations, and also comes as the Charles M. Schulz Museum celebrates its 15th Anniversary.
