The Friends of the Colusa County Free Library work toward financially supporting and generating community interest in the Library's services, programs, and facilities.
​
As ambassadors to the community, the Friends believe the library is one of our community's greatest assets as it serves more people in all walks of life than any other institution.
"Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire." ~W.B. Yeats

Hoopla logo
Hoopla is an increasingly popular way that Colusa County residents can access eBooks, audiobooks, comics, music, movies, and TV.  With hoopla and a valid library card, patrons can borrow, instantly stream, and download dynamic content via hoopla’s mobile app or website.
But this popular service comes with a cost per title accessed. Friends of the Colusa County Library continues to be its source of revenue. $10,000 ensures we can keep Hoopla funded for about one year.

Help us reach our $10,000 goal!

In Loving Memory of Peggy Townzen (1942-2025)
Her love for literature was matched only by her unwavering support for anyone seeking comfort and joy in the pages of a book. As a dedicated librarian, a true Friend of the Library, and a passionate community supporter, she gave her heart to the people and stories she cherished most.
