Rohnert Park - Cotati Regional Library — Attraction in Rohnert Park

Pretty good Library. Nice atmosphere. Not too many homeless. The African-American security guard is totally cool 😎. He just goes through his rounds and doesn't bother you - doesn't stare at you.

The other security guard an older Latino gentleman is a little different. He had never seen me before so he started treating me as if I was potentially suspicious. He tried not to make it too obvious but every time I went to refill my water bottle which is right next to the food donation basket which was overflowing the day I was there, he suddenly appeared in that lobby area and pretended just to be standing there but you could tell he thought I might try to grab some food out of there.

Especially for people who work Monday through Friday and can't come during the...

Like all other libraries in the county you will be greeted by symbols of indentity politics upon arrival in several places inside the entrance. I don't understand how public places paid with our tax dollars became a place where public display of favored groups are highlighted. They have thier favorite causes and if anybody feels excluded or alienated by this, I guess that is their problem. Also wish they had more children's books in the official language of the country. My kid has a hard time finding new books she can read here now, as they definitely make sure one language is over represented here. Wish the the place was...
