How exciting!

On Thursday, September 17 at the Marin Center Showcase Theatre, the League of Women Voters of Marin County, Marin County Free Library, Sausalito School District, and Rize/Marin are presenting a screening The Mood of America, a 1968 documentary on the impact of desegregation efforts in the Sausalito/Marin City School District. The film will be followed by a panel discussion and audience Q&A. To register, click marinlibrary.org/mood-of-ame….

Views of Sausalito City Hall and Library circa 1940 when it was still Sausalito Central School. The stage is where the library's kids' room is now.

Bay Area readers, writers, and art appreciators! The next BAIT reading is September 18 at 6 pm at @sausalitolib, with an all-star group of @Eirinieee, @LalehKhadivi, aracelis girmay, and Kerry Donoghue. Free to attend. More info at baitreading.com.

Library patrons can now sign up to receive text message notifications for hold pickups. Shoutbomb is a free service (standard text-message rates apply) allows the library to send text-message notifications to patrons. Patrons can also send text messages using preselected keywords to request additional information. Patrons can receive notifications for multiple library cards when items are ready for pickup or overdue. Shoutbomb can also be used to cancel holds or search for available items.

We don't care if you're Andrew Carnegie, you aren't cutting in line.

Please bear with us as the book return saga continues. The sign in the foreground, as you can see, now points to the mailbox instead of the book return (the dark green bin in the background). We're working on getting the sign removed. P.S. Please do not return books in the mailbox!

You know those small book libraries on the streets, where people discard their books to give them a second life? I found this lovely little Dell pocketbook in one of them today (published in 1957). With a stellar lineup:

We’re excited to announce our brand-new Little Free Library, conveniently located right next to the playground!

Take a book. Leave a book. Discover a new favorite! Stop by, see what’s inside, and help us keep the books circulating through our community. You never know what adventure might be waiting for you!
