The City Council presented a proclamation declaring April 6-12, 2025, as National Library Week in Rocklin. The week will celebrate the invaluable role libraries play in fostering creativity, lifelong learning, and civic engagement. Libraries are vital community hubs that provide equitable access to books, digital tools, and innovative programming.

Rocklin residents are encouraged to visit the Rocklin Library to explore its resources and celebrate the theme, “Drawn to the Library.” The City acknowledges the critical impact libraries have on job seekers, entrepreneurs, and young minds, and recognizes the dedicated library workers who support these efforts.

Fire Department Annual Report and Outlook

The Rocklin Fire Department presented its annual report, highlighting key accomplishments and future goals of the department.

Items highlighted include the department’s response to 6,302 calls for service in 2024. This marked a 1.3% increase in calls from the previous year, with approximately 90% of the incidents related to medical, good intent, and service calls.

Some key accomplishments from the Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Division included the establishment of the Excellence in EMS Award, which recognizes outstanding patient care. A crew on A-Shift received the award for saving a patient who suffered a sudden cardiac arrest and later made a full recovery—coming back to thank the crew for their efforts. Additionally, Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) were installed at all City buildings, with staff receiving training on their use to help increase the chances of survival in cases of sudden cardiac arrest.

Looking ahead, the Fire Department will be acquiring new cardiac monitors to further enhance patient care in 2025. The department continues to prioritize the health and safety of Rocklin residents through constant improvements and training.
