A few ordinary days at the library, circa 1940-something.

Readers reading. Students studying. Librarians librarian-ing.
Someone almost certainly trying to remember where they wrote down that call number.

📚💻 Self-Service Laptop Kiosks

The library is your computer lab!
Need a computer while you're at the library? Simply borrow a laptop from one of the self-service kiosks and use it anywhere inside the library. Each kiosk holds 12 full-featured laptops and is available at select Sonoma County Library branches. This kiosk is located at Rincon Valley Library 📚

✨ Convenient. Flexible. Easy to use.

The Rincon Valley Library has an open-shelf periodical service, so you can easily access the magazines, journals and newspaper collection!
The magazines come with sleeves, which are a great way to keep them safe from getting worn out and to keep the pages looking good.

From card catalogs to garden catalogs! 📚

➡️🌱 I stumbled upon this vintage library catalog, which has been transformed into a seed library. Instead of index cards or catalog cards, it’s now filled with pockets of seeds, all set for your garden!

Swing by Rincon Valley Library and explore the drawers to discover your next favorite veggies, herbs, or flower varieties.
