Each of the seven Sonoma County libraries are giving out 115 sets of backpacks and supplies for students in Kindergarten through high school seniors this week. The giveaway events events are continuing through Friday at library locations in Santa Rosa, Sebastopol, Petaluma, Sonoma Valley, Cotati-Rohnert Park and Cloverdale. The times vary but run from 12:30 to 2:30 p.m. All times and locations are posted on the library’s online events calendar. The program came about two years ago, after the free summer lunch program at Sonoma County Libraries returned after the height of the pandemic.
