Colonial Heights Library is located at the corner of 21st Avenue and Stockton Boulevard and serves patrons within a nine-square-mile area. The library opened in 1989, replacing the Mabel Gillis, Fruitridge and Oak Park libraries. Surrounding the 12,000 square-foot building is a parking lot for 100 cars and 25 bicycles. The library is easily accessible by public transportation.

Colonial Heights has 13 computers available for internet use, 1 of which is specifically designated for children. Our collection has over 60,000 titles. The library has a community room that is regularly used for library programs. The community room is also available for community group meetings and activities.

The Sacramento Public Library Foundation sponsors a Homework Center at the Colonial Heights Library. The Homework Center was opened in September, 1998. The center is available for 1st through 8th grade students, and applications to be a part of the program are available at the library. The center also accepts drop-in students when there is available space.
