Company Profile

Company Overview

Yolo County, California, with a population of just over 220,000, is a naturally beautiful and richly diverse county. It is one of the leading agricultural producers in the nation with 661,000 acres that are used primarily for farming and ranching. The Capay Valley is one of the leaders in the nation for organic farming.

The County seat, located in Woodland, is just 20 miles northwest of the State Capitol of Sacramento. Its proximity to the Sacramento International Airport and two interstate highways places Yolo County within a major transportation hub. Regional attractions include the San Francisco Bay Area, Napa-Sonoma wine region, as well as the pristine mountains and ski resorts of Lake Tahoe and the Sierra Nevada – all within two (2) hours driving distance.

Yolo County Library’s service area consists of 160,000 residents and serves the entire county except for the City of Woodland, which has city-funded public library services. Branch libraries are located in Clarksburg, Davis, Esparto, Knights Landing, West Sacramento, Winters, and Yolo. Library Administration, Technical Services, Archives, Records Center, and the Yolo County Historical Collection are located in Woodland. In January 2025, a new bookmobile, the Yolo Bibliobus, was added to ensure that rural and underserved communities have access to library services with a regular schedule. We are also getting ready to open the new Walnut Park Library in South Davis, replacing a satellite branch currently operating at Montgomery Elementary School, which will provide great access to library resources and a much-needed community meeting space in that area.

Yolo County Library offers the following free services: a robust and updated collection of print and digital materials; Link+; Books by Mail; Internet and Wi-Fi access; use of computers and software applications; community meeting and group study rooms; adult and early literacy support and English Language Learning (ELL/ESL) programs; multilingual storytimes and parent/caregiver education workshops; homework and research assistance; and reference services and oversight of the County Archives, Records Center, and the Yolo County Historical Collection.
