“I could not do my job as a teacher without the Sonoma County Library. Not only do they provide all my students automatically with a library eCard, I have had librarians teach my students about all the free services they provide students and families; taken my students on tours of the library downtown; and worked with librarians to get access to resources for book clubs that support my curriculum,” said Kris Ackerman, History Department Chair at Cesar Chavez Language Academy. “Every local teacher needs a Sonoma County Librarian as a bestie.”

Teachers love the Sonoma County Library! Sarah Tognozzi, eighth grade teacher at Roseland Accelerated Middle School, said that the library is an incredible resource for local students, teachers and families. “We are so grateful for the Sonoma County Library’s dedication and passion for serving students in Sonoma County,” Tognozzi added.
