Nice library in Rocklin that's open 7 days a week! That's rare and wonderful in the greater…read moreSacramento area. On this lovely Sunday that we visited, we came not long before closing, but it's opened from 1-5 on Sundays so that's still pretty good, plenty of time to enjoy this library. Although it's not a very big library, it has everything you'd expect from one. Upstairs is the teens and adult sections, pretty typical areas with lots of fiction and non fiction books, but there's also nice views of the lake and greenery outside the library from this upper floor. The main floor downstairs consist of the children's section and it's bright, clean, and colorful. On this floor, you'd also find that the space is pretty big and has lots of books for kids of all ages, as well as bathrooms, meeting rooms, a Friends of the Library book sales store, the main info desk with friendly library staff, and has all the comprehensive resources you'd expect at a library. Overall, we enjoyed visiting this library again even though it's not our first time, but it's still as nice as before, with a calming palette of colors inside and nice natural landscaping outside, making this a truly quiet and peaceful retreat in the middle of the bustling little bedroom community of Rocklin, CA in Placer County.

This year I learned about seed libraries!…read more Found out online that this location has a seed library (the only one I've found in Placer County) so I stopped by this week. But before making the drive out here, I decided to call and verify that they did have one. The person who answered the phone (I think her name was Dorothy) was very friendly and upbeat. She said that yes, they do have a seed library and that it was right next to the front desk. It was my first experience ever with a seed library so it was quite interesting. Basically the library gives away free seeds! At this location, they have these little drawers with labeled packets of seeds and you just write in the binder which seed packets you're taking (limit 5). They also have nice little color brochures with a planting calendar for Placer County. Took my 5 little packets home and was feeling pretty excited. I just got 5 free packets of seeds! :) Got home and decided to start some bell pepper seeds. Opened the packet that was labeled "California Wonder Sweet Peppers" and was startled to find little black seeds inside. While I'm no master gardener, I do know what bell pepper seeds look like and these definitely were not it. I compared them to my broccoli and cabbage seeds, that looked slightly similar, but these black seeds were of a different size. Figured somehow they had just gotten mislabeled and it might be an adventure to plant these mystery seeds and see what plant pops up. :P Decided to start some eggplant seeds so I opened the second packet labeled "Long purple eggplant." Inside the packet consisted of 5 seeds--2 black, 3 cream/yellow. What the?! The cream/yellow ones could pass for eggplant seeds (or even possibly bell pepper seeds) but they were definitely not little black seeds like the two inside this packet. And why would ONE variety consist of two different types of seeds? I then realized the seed library would probably not be the best place to get accurately-labeled seeds. You might want a bell pepper plant and end up getting a basil plant instead. But hey, it's free, right? Another thing that concerned me was that on their website, they suggest that you plant the seeds and then save some seeds and return them to the library. In my experience, there's a lot of cross pollination that goes on with plants so you can't really save seeds from your plant and expect it to be the exact same variety. *shrug* Maybe their seeds somehow don't get cross-pollinated or something? But anyways, it was a fun experience to see a Placer County seed library. We'll see if anything grows from the seeds!

Ahhhhhh~Yes, I do hear the Angels' Choir . . . However, I never applied for an EDC LIBRARY ID Card so, I decided I'll apply for an ID Card on my birthday which just so happens to be TODAY~YAY: I was given a short library card, application form which I copiously completed, submitting my CDL, signed the application, and gave my application and CDL to the awesomely cool Librarian. Afterwards, the Librarian escorted me to the computer station giving me succinct instructions using the computers. IMPORTANT FYI: When you're ready printing your documentation-whatever you do, DO NOT PRESS CTRL + P; unfortunately, using this shortcut will truncate your document printing only the first page~DOH! Instead, scroll down to the bottom of the page searching for three dots in a column in the right side clicking the mouse on the three dots selecting PRINT. Voila~Finished!

Few days ago, although I was so exhausted but my little ones needed to borrow books no matter how tired I had to put on that mommy energy and get them here. I sat next to the window, watched through the window cars passing and enjoyed the outdoor lush beauty. There was a magic, no phones, library silence, row of books that stand like silent companions and each holding a world within the spine of books. At least the books are silent not like manager's, they don't ask how fast can you work on this. I feel library is a safe space, read, wander with imaginations, crave for more and eager to read next book from the series and let your brain learn new words or emotions through the book. Growing up, I was happy whenever the library trailer book bus came to our school. We never had library while growing up, so I looked forward to borrow book's when the library bus came. I clearly remember one time, my favorite book was dinosaur book. I renewed twice because the story was my favorite. And I'm glad my kids enjoy reading and thanks to the public library, we've borrowed thousands of books. And without the library, this wouldn't be possible without breaking the bank. And thanks to the library, we can borrow from different branches. They make it possible for kids to read and grow. All I want to say, thank you! You are making a big difference in our lives.

The natural light coming from the large windows makes long study days feel less confining. I feel comfortable leaving my belongings at my table while I use the restroom. It's a risk to take unless you ask one of the many kind people around to watch your stuff. There are also study rooms for rent. I haven't used them, but I'm happy to have the option. The parking lot can get packed quick due to the fitness center, nearby parks, and other library goers.
