Solano County Library Foundation: Enriching Lives Through Literacy
2026 Literacy Celebration
“ Writing new chapters together – where Hope finds its voice and every word
becomes a step toward possibility."
The Solano County Library Foundation proudly attended and took part in the Literacy Celebration at the Vacaville Cultural Center Library. Our dedicated Board Members—Ms. Colleen Porter, Ms. Patricia Kutza, Ms. Satinder Vasudeva, Mr. Ariel Ortilla, and our honorary board member, Dr. Frances McCullough, joined together to honor the remarkable volunteer tutors and adult learners of the Adult Literacy Program.
Hearing learners talk about their journeys and achievements was truly inspiring. It was a strong reminder of how much literacy and perseverance can change lives. The celebration showed how libraries are trusted community spaces that help people grow, learn, and build confidence.
As members of the Solano County Library Foundation and volunteer tutors, we are proud to be part of a community that values education, empowerment, and opportunity for everyone. Congratulations to the Adult Literacy Program team and the determined learners, and thank you to the volunteers who make this progress possible. We are grateful to support these efforts and celebrate literacy achievements together.

Fairfield Community Center
It was a joyful morning at the Fairfield community center, celebrating Mychal Threets and friends, and the power of Library joy and belonging. Today’s ‘all -ages event ‘ brought together families, educators, and library lovers to welcome Mychal Threets and the special guests - Jeff Kinney, creator of Diary of a Wimpy Kid, along with award-winning creators Kaylani Juanita and Joanna Ho.
The read -aloud, Q&A, and book signing all highlighted how books can build confidence, curiosity, and connection.
Satinder Vasudeva, Secretary of the Solano County Library Foundation, was proud to be there supporting the event and selling our SCLF book bags to raise funds for library programs that keep this kind of magic going. She left feeling deeply grateful for our public libraries, the people who champion them, the partners who make events like this possible, and for everyone who stopped by the SCLF table, bought a book bag, or simply shared a kind word about the impact of libraries in their lives. Moments like this are why we support and fund our local libraries.
