Solano County Library Foundation

Solano County Library Foundation Since its establishment in December 1994, the Foundation has raised more than $3 million. Another is Solano County Library's Solano Kids Read Program.

The mission of the Solano County Library Foundation is to support the programs of the Solano County Library and the literacy and lifelong learning needs of the community it serves. Those who have benefited, just to name a few, include:

• Children 5 years old and younger who receive their first book from the Foundation during a visit to the family doctor;
• School-age children who attend Kids Rea

d Program events and listen to an author inspire them to read and write well;
• Elementary and middle-school students who receive live, online homework help from qualified experts;
• Adults whose literacy skills are improved to enable them to compete in the workforce and expand their opportunities; and
• Books lovers and avid readers who use our libraries ever day. Our Priority Projects

Since 1998 the Foundation has funded many literacy programs. The primary focus of its efforts is Reach Out and Read, which promotes early literacy by giving new books to youngsters and offering advice to parents about the importance of reading. Our volunteers and community physicians reach out to families during visits to the family doctor. It has distributed books to kids and brought authors to speak at local schools since 2007. Our third major initiative is Tutor.com, which provides free, live, online homework assistance to local school children who need help in math, science, reading and writing.
