Hello Yolo County Library Lovers! 

I have now had the pleasure of serving you and working with our extraordinary Library team for one month. It has been amazing! I am still working on visiting all of the branches and attending Friends of the Library meetings, but I am truly inspired by our talented staff as well as how much our Yolo County communities love their local branches and teams that work there. I am also greatly appreciative of the dedication of our Friends groups. 

I look forward to continuing to serve you, being out in the community, and building connections. Please reach out to me anytime via email at LibraryAdmin@YoloCounty.org.

This Women’s History Month, we celebrate the women who tell our stories. Stop by any Yolo County Library branch to pick up a bibliography and commemorative bookmark and borrow a book from our display. 

Please join us for the following special events...
