Erika Thibault is the new director for the Sonoma County Library, which spans 12 regional libraries, two community libraries, a mobile library, and multiple special collections. The Sonoma County Library Commission voted to appoint Thibault at its February 1 meeting after a nationwide executive search.

A quick trip to Petaluma Market changed everything. I was there for only one item: Clover Sweet Cream Vanilla Ice Cream. A walk amongst the many ice cream options however, brought up only one Clover flavor; and it was not vanilla. Upon inquiring, market management shook their heads and remarked that there was going to be no more Clover ice cream. I was aghast. I was horrified; but mostly I was sad.
