Yolo County Library

Read Around Yolo

Read Around Yolo (R.A.Y.) is our book club in a bag program.

You can check out tote bags that contain 10 paperback copies of a book and discussion materials, including author information, questions, tips on facilitating discussion, and a sign-out sheet to help keep track of the bag’s contents.

We are currently transitioning to a new online reservation system. During this time, to reserve a RAY bag, please contact staff at  ReadersAdvisoryYCL@gmail.com.
