Our Mission: “The Friends of the
Sonoma Valley Library is a non-profit volunteer organization dedicated to
enhancing the presence of the library in the community and supporting its
efforts to bring the pleasure of reading, listening, and viewing to our
population through traditional media, technological innovations, and diverse
programs.” View our By-Laws.
Our Library: the Sonoma Valley Regional Library, located at 755 West Napa Street, serves the communities of Sonoma, Glen Ellen, Agua Caliente, Boyes Hot Springs, and El Verano. The library building is owned by the City of Sonoma, and is leased to Sonoma County which operates all libraries in the County. A local Library Advisory Board provides information and make recommendations to the County Library Commission and the Library Director on matters affecting library service based on input from the Sonoma Valley service area.
The Friends of the Sonoma Valley Library currently has about 600 members. Here's a brief overview with some examples of how we support our local library:
