Information
Located on the grounds of the Bates Elementary School, the Courtland Community Library serves the school children and the citizens of the town of Courtland and the surrounding fifteen square miles. The Courtland Library has a history going back to 1909. From 1993 it was operated by volunteers from the community-members of the Courtland Affiliate of the Friends of the Sacramento Public Library-- for almost 10 years. Recently the volunteers applied for and received Community Block Grant funding for the development of a new building. The new facility is 1,365 sq. ft. (almost double the size of the old facility) and opened in the spring of 2003.
In partnership with the River Delta Unified School District, the Courtland Library will enhance service to children by circulation materials from the Bates Elementary School and by providing access to the complete holdings of the Sacramento Public Library to all users. The branch is also is now offering free Internet access to the community as well as word processing software.
The Courtland Friends of the Library continue to provide volunteer service to the library and will pursue their fundraising efforts to support the branch materials collection and programming for children and adults.
