After four busy years at the current temporary site (while sharing space with the Boys and Girls Club), the temporary Library building will be torn down in late 2019/early 2020 to make space for a permanent structure. Just prior to this, the Roseland Library will move to an excellent new location at 470 Sebastopol Ave. The space will be twice as big and because it will not be a shared site, additional hours of service will be available to Library patrons. Be ready to participate in the Grand Opening Celebration!
Many thanks to the Santa Rosa City Council who have budgeted $150,000 for a minimum of one year for this temporary space. And kudos to Lynda Hopkins and the County Board of Supervisors for allocation $250,000 for the relocation.
Ann Hammond is the Library Director for the Sonoma County Library. Hammond came to Sonoma County in March 2019 from Lexington, Kentucky, where she served as the Executive Director of the Lexington Public Library. This is Hammond’s third position as a library executive in California, serving in leadership roles in San Diego and Alameda counties before her position in Kentucky.
Hammond is experienced in public library management, budgeting, strategic planning and collections planning. Prior to her first library job in 1995, Hammond was a US Navy officer, a stay-at-home mom, an agronomist and a forensic scientist. She has strongly engaged the cause of creating a permanent Library in Roseland.

Celma Luster has been a Sonoma County Librarian since 2007. She has served at multiple branches and is pleased to be a Librarian at the Roseland branch. She really enjoys promoting reading, library services and community participation.
Guadalupe Guzman began working at Roseland Library in 2019 and feels that it has been a great learning experience. He loves to read and listen to both classical and pop music, especially Korean pop music which has made him aspire to travel to South Korea at least once in the future.
Marlene Vera, with the library since 2017, is Senior Library Associate at Roseland Community Library. She has worked in the Roseland area for 10 years in the early education field as a preschool teacher and is focused on providing library services that connect to and address the needs and concerns of the Roseland Community.
The Library Commissioners have welcomed several new Commissioners in 2019 including David Cahill, representing Santa Rosa and Karen Schneider, taking a SR City/County position . (Please look them up on the Sonoma County Library website to see their history). Led by the Library Commission Chairperson Reece Foxen, several commissioners have attended, testified and successfully advocated for the Roseland Library at the Santa Rosa City Council meeting.
The Roseland Neighborhood Village is a 7.5 acre parcel that will be developed with housing, a commercial center, a civic building and a public plaza. The civic building is envisioned for joint use (but not sharing of the same space) by the library and the Boys & Girls Club, but it is important that the library first complete an ongoing study of the ideal size and scope of a permanent library branch in Roseland. Once that work is complete, plans can move forward.
For a permanent library to be created in Roseland, a significant portion of the funding will have to be raised from public, private and philanthropic sources. Cost estimates are now being gathered and a capital campaign planned by multiple interested entities is in the early planning stages.

!A New Temporary Site for the Roseland Library!

¡Un nuevo sitio temporal para la Biblioteca Roseland!
Después de cuatro años en el sitio temporal actual (mientras compartiendo espacio con el Boys and Girls Club), el edificio de la Biblioteca temporal será demolido a fines de 2019 / principios de 2020 para hacer espacio para una estructura permanente. Justo antes de esto, la Biblioteca Roseland se mudará a una excelente ubicación nueva en 470 Sebastopol Ave. El espacio será el doble de grande y dado que no será un sitio compartido habrá horas de servicio adicionales disponibles para los usuarios de la Biblioteca. ¡Prepárense para participar en la gran inauguración!
Many thanks to the Santa Rosa City Council who have budgeted $150,000 for a minimum of one year for this temporary space. And kudos to Lynda Hopkins and the County Board of Supervisors for allocation $250,000 for the relocation.

La futura biblioteca permanente de Roseland
The Roseland Neighborhood Village is a 7.5 acre parcel that will be developed with housing, a commercial center, a civic building and a public plaza. The civic building is envisioned for joint use (but not sharing of the same space) by the library and the Boys & Girls Club, but it is important that the library first complete an ongoing study of the ideal size and scope of a permanent library branch in Roseland.

Roseland Neighborhood Village es una parcela de 7.5 acres que se desarrollará con viviendas, un centro comercial, un edificio cívico y una plaza pública. El edificio cívico está previsto para uso conjunto (pero no para compartir el mismo espacio) por la biblioteca y el Boys & Girls Club, pero es importante que la biblioteca primero complete un estudio completo del tamaño ideal y el alcance de una biblioteca permanente. Una vez que ese trabajo esté completo, los planes pueden avanzar.
Para crear una biblioteca permanente en Roseland, una parte significativa de los fondos tendrá que recaudarse de fuentes públicas, privadas y filantrópicas. Ahora se encuentra en las primeras etapas de planificación estimaciones de costos y una campaña de capital planificada por varias entidades interesadas.
