OUR ANNUAL PUBLICATION IS POSTPONED TO 2020
This year’s anthology takes us into new territory—literally and figuratively. We focus our reading and writing on work by women from other lands and languages. We had fewer contributions than usual, and decided to extend the publication into next year. Keep reading works in translation, and choose one to discuss. We want to cover the globe! We are keeping a world map to mark countries covered by the contributions.

We are even lengthening our usual word limit to two pages!.
Check Publications for details. NEW DEADLINE: April 1, 2020

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.
If you are really stuck, return the book by mail: The Sitting Room, PO Box 838, Penngrove, 94951.

WHEN WE ARE OPEN; HOW TO GET THE ENTRY CODE
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 sittingroomlibrary@gmail.com. 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.
