For Preparedness Month, we partnered with @CAStateLibrary to reflect on moments in our history when Californians were caught off guard by unexpected disaster emergencies.
Whether it's catastrophic earthquakes or historic floods, these events remind us why preparedness matters.

It’s 9/16, repping the Sacramento area code! But before area codes, we had telegraph codes, as found in this 1871 copy of Bolton’s Telegraph code held at our Sutro Library.

Today we lost a feminist icon, Gloria Steinem. Here in our Sutro Library collections are some trade cards created by the Ms. Foundation, which was co-founded by Steinem. In 1994 the trading card was part of the promotional push during the event.

No AC at home? Libraries, malls & community centers are places to cool off.
TIP: Ask neighbors, friends or family if they have a cool place you can hang out.

Aug 26 has been designated Women's Equality Day and this registration book from the woman suffrage headquarters in NY is the perfect item to celebrate this day. While being an important historical item, it's also a treasure trove for genealogists. It spans from 1909 to 1917.

Sometimes the treasures in our collection aren't the ones that are the rarest or the most beautiful, but rather we connect with them in some personal way. This is our new series Some of Our Favorite Things, enjoy! #lakeplacid #adirondacks #someofourfavoritethings #libraries

Our hearts are with the Chico community tonight.
We are grateful to law enforcement for their swift actions to secure the scene and take the suspect into custody.
No family should have to endure a tragedy like this.
