Winter greetings from the Healdsburg Library. We continue to work preparing for additional open hours as a result of the passage of Measure Y. As you may have heard, the library system is hiring over 30 new positions across the county. We anticipate many additional positions opening up over the next year as we work to improve library services and continue to expand open hours. In addition, we face an uncommon opportunity to improve our collections. As always, we wish to provide the most helpful information we can. If you have suggestions — such as magazine subscriptions you wish we would provide — we are all ears. We still can’t provide everything, but we’ll try to grant requests if we can.

Who was that praying for all the rain? Are you done yet? Wait, maybe we should remind ourselves where we live and what our flood and drought history tells us.

My younger sister was the slob of my family when growing up. I hate to say it, but she was. She simply didn’t care about where she left her stuff: backpack, shoes, dirty dishes. The house was constantly littered with her things. Over and over my mom would ask her to pick up after herself but my sister never seemed to catch on to the idea of cleaning. One day my mom had finally had enough. Quite frankly I think we all had. So, she came up with an idea that would forever change my sister’s messy habits.
