Colusa County Free Library Literacy Program

Colusa County has the second lowest literacy rate in the state of California; 34% of Colusa County residents cannot read above a 6th grade reading level. This means that one in three Colusa County residents cannot read and write sufficiently to carry out day-to-day activities at work and home.

In order to meet the needs of a diverse community of learners, the Literacy Program offers a wide variety of learning opportunities. Programs offered include traditional English language reading and writing tutoring, digital literacy workshops and classes, book clubs, English Conversation Club, opportunities to earn a GED, and regular workshops aimed at relevant literacy topics. In addition, the Literacy Program offers family services such as parenting classes, story times, and book giveaways.
