Sonoma County Library is more than just a place to borrow books. As an organization, they have taken on the task of reimagining what a library can be in the 21st century. The library has recognized the changing needs of the community, especially in the wake of the 2020-21 pandemic, and has embarked on a plan to meet those needs head-on.

Through the method of turning outward, inspired by the Harwood Institute, Sonoma County Library is actively engaging with community members to understand their desires and concerns. This allows them to leverage their unique assets and expertise to create services and programs that address the broader community needs. In addition to traditional library services like access to books and resources, Sonoma County Library offers a wide range of eLibrary materials and resources, including eBooks, eAudiobooks, and eLearning resources.

They also provide support for students, with homework help and resources for educators. Whether it's exploring local history, participating in workshops and classes, or simply finding a quiet space to read, Sonoma County Library is committed to reimagining what a library can offer to its community
