We gave away MORE THAN 1,000 BOOKS! 📚🎉

What a week at the Yolo County Fair!

The Friends of the Woodland Public Library were thrilled to put more than 1,000 free books into the hands of fairgoers throughout the week.

That’s more than 1,000 opportunities for a child to discover a new favorite story, a family to read together, or a reader of any age to find their next great book.

We’re so grateful to everyone who stopped by our booth, browsed the books, volunteered their time, and helped us make this possible.

This is what community connection—and a love of reading—looks like. ❤️📚

Thank you, Yolo County Fair, and thank you to our wonderful volunteers for helping us make it such a success!

Here’s to the next 1,000 books! 📖
