Just in time for summer reading, the Sonoma County Library is pleased to announce the reopening of the Northwest Regional Library on May 29, 2018, at 150 Coddingtown Ctr, Santa Rosa, CA 95401. The library will resume regular hours of operation.

Please Note: The temporary site offering a Book Drop and Holds for Northwest patrons at Guerneville Road Plaza; 1331 Guerneville Road, Suite O., will close its doors at 2pm on Saturday, May 26, 2018. See Northwest Hours and Address Information.

On May 29, 2018, Sonoma County Library invites the community to join us for the reopening celebration, which will begin at 10:00 am with a ribbon cutting ceremony with community leaders and library officials. Refreshments and music will follow the ribbon cutting ceremony. The library will continue the celebration in the afternoon with a scavenger hunt in the library for families.

After more than three months of renovations, Northwest Library reopens its doors to reconfigured and enhanced spaces for children and teens, newly installed carpeting and furnishings, and a more efficient layout for collections. Improved disability access and seismic retrofitting are a few of the other upgrades. The community will also be happy to know that our beautiful mural still graces the wall in the Children’s area of the library.

The Northwest Regional Library originally opened in October of 1968. Besides some minor renovations to restrooms, the library did not change much over the past fifty years. Now, the library will have a fresh, new feel with a single service desk and many improvements. “We have very loyal patrons who use our library and we are so happy to be back home and look forward to welcoming them to our vibrant, new space,” said Northwest branch manager Kate Keaton. She added, “We’ll also be continuing the celebration in October with special events surrounding our fiftieth anniversary.”

The Northwest Library is located at 150 Coddingtown Center, Santa Rosa CA 95401.
