Who We Are

At the Solano County Library Foundation, we are deeply passionate about promoting community education and the joy of reading as well as lifelong learning. Since our establishment in December 1994, we've been devoted to supporting the Solano County Library's programs and addressing the literacy programs and lifelong learning needs of our community. Our commitment over the years has helped us raise over $7 million, enabling us to make a significant impact in the lives of many.

Our influence reaches various segments of our community:

Youth Engagement: Programs such as the Solano Kids Read Program engage school-age children in exciting literary events, fostering a lifelong love for reading and learning.

Academic Support: We provide essential online homework help for elementary and middle-school students, ensuring they have the necessary resources and support to excel academically.

Adult Literacy: Our efforts also focus on adults looking to improve their literacy skills, which opens doors to new opportunities in the workforce and beyond.

ESL Support: Our services offer invaluable assistance to English as a Second Language learners, guiding them on their journey to mastering a new language and seamlessly integrating into our community.

Each day, our libraries serve as more than just places filled with books—they become havens for book lovers and avid readers, nurturing a lifelong dedication to literature. Through our collective efforts, we aim to create a community where access to knowledge is plentiful and the joy of reading is cherished by everyone.
