We are is proud to announce the opening of a new exhibition, Sonoma State University Library: Past, Present, Possible, now on view in the Library Gallery. This exhibition celebrates the library’s evolution from its early days as a small campus collection in a temporary building on the College View campus to its current role as a vibrant hub for research, learning, creativity, and community connection.
Through photographs, archival documents, artifacts, and interactive displays, the exhibit traces the library’s growth alongside the university itself. Visitors will discover stories of the people who shaped the library’s collections, the architectural transformation of the building, and the ways technology and innovation have redefined what a university library can be.
“The library has always been the heart of Sonoma State,” said Laura Alamillo, Dean of the Library. “This exhibition honors decades of dedication, scholarship, and service. It’s also a reminder that the library’s story continues—with our students, faculty, and the North Bay community contributing to its next chapter.”
The exhibition is free and open to the public during regular library hours.
