Welcome to the Sacramento Daily Patch Newsletter! This is where you will find all of the best news and events happening in Sacramento for Thursday September 30th, 2021! First, today's weather: Clear throughout the day. High: 88 Low: 57. Here are the top stories in Sacramento today: A new hotel opened Wednesday in Sacramento, but while the hotel is new, the building is not. The hotel, called The Exchange will occupy the The California Fruit Building that was once the tallest skyscraper west of the Mississippi. Have yourself a fun staycation and check in to one of the 100 boutique rooms in the new hotel and check out this historic building! There are plenty of options for downtown eateries, but if you want to eat in the hotel restaurant, you'll have to wait until winter when The Willows is expected to open. (CBS Sacramento) Our incredible local talent will be fully on display at the California Stage in Sacramento, when "Crazy Betty" premiers there on October 1. This play was written by acclaimed El Dorado County playwright Charlotte Higgins and directed by esteemed regional theatre director Maggie Upton.

How about a bird watching kit, or a hiking kit complete with a headlamp and hiking poles? You can, and it's all thanks to Sacramento Public Library Director and CEO Rivkah Sass, who announced her retirement on Tuesday. She will leave a lasting legacy on Sacramento. Among her achievements during her tenure, Sass established the "library of things," helped 200 adult students earn their accredited high school diploma and entertained countless children with her much loved Little Red Hen storytime, where she often showed up to read and sing with the children. In honor of her leadership, the Friends of Sacramento Public Library have established the Young Readers Fund. The endowed fund will help fulfill Sass' wish to advance children's literacy in Sacramento County. (saclibrary.org)Two teen Elverta brothers have been arrested, accused of stabbing their mother and little brother. The teens, ages 13 and 16 were taken into custody after the 16-year-old called 911, telling dispatchers he had hurt his mother and she was losing a lot of blood. When deputies got to the area they found a woman and a child who needed medical attention, the sheriff's office said. Both victims are in area hospitals in critical condition. (KCRA3)The Sacramento County District Attorney's Office said 44-year-old Carmichael man, Charlie Ramos, faces felony charges after taking his two sons from their mother, who has custody of the boys. Prior to Ramos' arrest, the three were last seen almost two weeks ago on Sept. 15 near a Circle K in the area of Northgate Boulevard in North Sacramento. Both boys were found safe and Ramos was taken into custody on Tuesday. (FOX40) Today's Sacramento Daily is brought to you by Newrez, a leading nationwide mortgage lender.
