The Butte County Library system, established in 1913, passionately serves its diverse community's educational and cultural needs. Its mission is to offer free access to ideas, information, and technology for everyone, regardless of age or background. With six branches, including administrative offices in Oroville, the library provides a rich array of services: a mobile literacy program, a "Library of Things" for borrowing unique items, genealogy resources, and engaging programming like the "Summer Reading" initiative. Library card holders can also explore over 200 state parks through the California State Library Parks Pass, while interlibrary loans and the Zip Books program broaden access further. Public computers and internet resources, along with staff assistance, ensure inclusivity, and the collection reflects community diversity, addressing varied cultural and recreational needs.
