El verano es el momento perfecto para relajarse, explorar y aprender juntos en familia. ¿La mejor parte? ¡Aprender no tiene que sentirse como la escuela! Unos pocos minutos al día de lectura, conversación, juegos y actividades creativas pueden ayudar a los niños a mantenerse curiosos y seguros de sí mismos durante todo el verano.
El Programa de Lectura de Verano se lleva a cabo del 1 de junio al 15 de agosto y está abierto para personas de todas las edades: bebés, niños, adolescentes y adultos!
Las familias pueden inscribirse, registrar sus lecturas, completar actividades divertidas y ganar premios durante el verano. Todas las personas que participen pueden recibir un libro gratis, y quienes completen el programa obtendrán premios adicionales. ¡Toda lectura cuenta!

We want to inform you of a recent development impacting libraries nationwide, including the Yolo County Library. Baker & Taylor, our primary book wholesaler, is unexpectedly closing its operations. For many years, they’ve played a vital role in helping us stock our shelves efficiently and stretch every dollar in our materials budget.
We are actively working to navigate this change to ensure continued access to the books you love. However, during this transition, you will notice delays in the arrival of new releases and requested titles.
We have shifted materials ordering to our secondary vendor and other sources. Nonetheless, we expect continued delays during this process.
Meanwhile, explore the library’s available materials:
Explore Link+. Through Link+, you are connected with other CA libraries outside of Yolo County Library. Using your library card, you can place requests for available materials and have them delivered to your Yolo County Library location of choice.
The first day of school is a big milestone—whether it’s your child’s very first day ever, or just the first day of a brand-new grade. Read more about how to support children and yourself on our Explore Literacy/Explora Literacia Familiar page.
Your library’s free all-ages Summer Reading Program runs from June 1 – August 15. Free, weekly special events will take place at library branches throughout the program. All community members are encouraged to sign up to read, log their reading, and complete fun activities to earn prizes.
This year’s theme, Color Our World, celebrates creativity, curiosity, and diversity through books, activities, and community engagement.
Summer reading programs are designed to inspire a love of reading, even among reluctant readers. Research shows that participation helps children and teens retain and improve their literacy skills during the summer months. Adults also benefit by rediscovering the joys of reading and modeling positive reading habits for children.
