We really love this library; it's our favorite one in town. The resources, the wonderful staff, and…read moreespecially the fantastic kids' section are all amazing. However, we do have some concerns that make our visits a bit challenging. Parking is consistently a hassle, and we've noticed an increasing presence of homeless individuals both around and directly in front of the library, which can be uncomfortable. This became particularly troubling recently when a homeless individual on a bike nearly hit my 6-year-old daughter and then attempted to kick her. While we understand the library can't control what happens outside its doors, and we often see security personnel, it's disheartening that these issues persist. My children have even started referring to it as 'the homeless library,' which is sad given how much we value what it offers. We genuinely hope to see some improvements in the future, as we truly enjoy coming here.

Decided to take a trip downtown this morning to check out the local library. The staff was friendly…read moreand helpful in showing me around for my first time visiting. The library is quite large with a wide selection materials and several different study areas. The main drawbacks were the parking and overall cleanliness. There is no dedicated parking lot so most people will need to find paid street parking or use a paid parking garage. I also noticed that some areas felt unclean, with strong odors in certain parts of the library and an unkept bathroom. There were also many homeless individuals sheltering inside or gathered outside, which may make some visitors uncomfortable.

I visited the healdsburg Library today just to make a lot of copies. These days nothing is as…read moresimple as it once was. The technology of electronic devices makes everything ten times more complicated . I used a very nice young Librarian who had to guide me through some challenging situations. Even she didn't understand why certain ways were not working. In the end we got through it. Eight dollars later everything was done. I ended up getting a new library card. This venture took both women at the help desk to get a ton of copies made. It did cost less at the library than through UPS. That can get costly. The Library staff was extremely professional and patient with me and my friend who are very technologically challenged.

Easy parking, quiet library with the perks of book sales, art shows and special exhibits to be seen when I walk in. The staff there are also cheery and helpful. The Healdsburg library is a small library with a big selection. When I want something, I just order it online and if it's in any of the Sonoma County libraries, it will show up in a few days in Healdsburg. They send me email when the item is available. The Healdsburg library also has a "Wine Library" where one can read books on all aspects of the wine vocation. There are many old books on the subject. The children's section is right by the book check out desk. I like seeing the children reading books or having a book read to them - and it's right by the checkout desk so they are being watched over all the time by patrons and library staff. The children always seemed well behaved; quietly talking or fidgeting in their chairs as they enjoy their books. Some big city libraries are creepy with people sleeping in chairs, learing around corners or aimlessly walking around. I've never seen anything like that in Healdsburg. I like that the library is close to Casa Del Mole so I can have lunch and purchase groceries if I need them when I visit the library. Did I mention the staff are helpful and friendly? They always greet me as if they are glad to see me... and I think they are!

The kids play with toys very loudly never being told to not play so loudly. The mens restroom is sometimes used as an illegal drug recreation area. Eating is allowed because nobody tells people to stop eating their food. And it seems like occasionally drug users stop in to charge their five or more devices or just to fondle themselves on the ground. But the atmosphere is nice because they have an air filter machine.

I've been a loyal YMCA member for 24 years. I never expected the place I considered my fitness…read more"home" to become somewhere I feel unsafe. Another member whom I'd never met before, confronted me aggressively in the locker room--loud, intimidating, invasive, and completely unprovoked. But the real shock was the YMCA's response: almost nothing. Weeks passed before any meaningful action was taken, and even then it was a token gesture, not a solution. What makes this worse is learning that the same member targeted another Asian-American woman only weeks before me. Still, the YMCA brushed everything aside as if it wasn't serious. This is not about drama. It's about the YMCA failing to protect women in their facility. The lack of accountability and the dismissive attitude from leadership were honestly far more traumatizing than the incident itself. If you're considering joining--especially if you're a woman or a person of color--please read this as a warning.
