The Spring 2018 Newsletter is available. Click here.
It's out of date, but a new one will be up in September. In the meantime, see Important Updates below.
We have posted all the readings for the Book Group for the rest of the year! Even if you come just once, you will find a stimulating discussion. Check in the Events page to see whether a selection spurs you to join in.
You can also bring your own book group to the SR. Instead of meeting at someone's house, just for once schedule a meeting here to introduce the space to your friends. Evenings are welcome. Contact Karen, kpetaluma@gmail.com to get on the calendar.
EXHIBIT NOW ON DISPLAY: BOTANICAL ILLUSTRATION
Depictions of the natural world have inspired artists throughout time. We are pleased to have work by Krista Anandakuttan, Nina Antze, Joyce Libeu and Joanne Page currently on display at the Sitting Room. Stop by and take a moment to enjoy these beautiful drawings and learn more about the great tradition of botanical illustration.
WE HAVE A SMALL LENDING LIBRARY
Think about borrowing a book from our Circulation Shelves, along the entrance hallway. There is an overload of duplicated fiction to tempt you, and to the left, in the renovated closet shelving area, find nonfiction.
We use an honor system, so borrow one and return later. They all have the SR stamp to remind you where their home shelf resides.
NO OTHER BOOKS CIRCULATE.

DROP IN!
Your Sitting Room is open access from 9 am to 5 pm, every day but Sunday. Other times may be requested. If a Workshop is in the living room, enter anyway and enjoy the rest of the space. In all cases, you need the key code, which is given you when you take a brief tour of the premises. To schedule an appointment, email J.J. Wilson. Check our map for directions and parking rules.
Please, please for safety's sake, never give the entry code to someone else. To ensure proper use of the space, new visitors must go through a tour.

WI-FI AND A COMPUTER AND A LIBRARY CATALOG.
Sometimes you need a computer at the Sitting Room. You want to check something on the web, or have a poem pop up in your head. We now have a very basic used lap top in the Writer's Room for your pleasure. You can print too, but do leave a donation, suggested at 10 cents a page, if you can afford it. Or just use the wi-fi with your smart phone while you are here.
Want to know whether our collection has a book? Check Sappho, our online catalog, at the SR or from home.
