Whereas, libraries bring information, ideas, and people together to build a stronger community; and
Whereas, libraries provide enduring connections to the past and future of our communities;
Whereas, libraries provide access to important research about health, economics, housing, the environment, and countless other areas to help people lead longer, more productive and fulfilling lives;
Whereas, libraries support a competitive workforce with basic literacy programs, computers, small business start-up, job search and other resources to support businesses and economic development;
Whereas, libraries engage people with services, spaces and resources to enrich their lives and the life of our community; and
Whereas, at all Sonoma County libraries, all are welcome, inclusive of ethnicity, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, country of origin, age, faith, ability, politics, or socio-economic status; and
Whereas, the Sebastopol Regional Library, a branch of the Sonoma County Library system creates a welcoming environment for everyone to celebrate the joy of literacy, learning, creating, communicating and cultural exchange; and
Whereas, the Sebastopol Regional Library staff create an environment where “Love is in the Air” year-round for library patrons and the community, Now, therefore, be it resolved that I, Mayor Neysa Hinton, on behalf of the City Council, declare February 2023 as Love Your Library Month and encourage all residents to visit our library and thank a librarian for making this unique and wonderful institution possible.
