Passionate about Equity and Library Access across Yolo County?
Support the Yolo County Library Foundation.
Yolo County Library Foundation (YCLF) is a 501c3 organization dedicated to strengthening the entire Yolo County Library system because every Yolo County resident deserves equitable access to library services, materials, and literacy.
Since 2016, the Yolo County Library Foundation has funded literacy materials and programs from children and adults-- especially those in our most under-resourced communities-- across all 8 branch libraries and remote service areas, so no one is left behind.
Today, our libraries and those who need them most are under threat.
Now, more than ever, they need our financial support.
As the county-wide "Friends of the Library" group, YCLF is the only organization solely funding system-wide requests for programs, materials, and services across the entire Yolo County Library network.
Our 4 Core Funding Priorities:
1. Early Literacy Programming– so children read for life.
2. Early Literacy Toolkits– to build home libraries.
3. Summer and Winter Reading Programs- to encourage year-round reading.
4. English Language Learning Programs- to empower our diverse communities.
📚 Currently, only 48% of Yolo County children read at grade level by 3rd grade.
“The single most significant factor influencing a child’s early educational success is an introduction to books and being read to at home prior to beginning school.”
- National Commission on Reading
