The Yolo County Board of Supervisors convened on September 9, 2025, to address several key agenda items, including a resolution recognizing the importance of literacy and a proclamation for Chicano Latino Heritage Month.

The meeting began with a discussion on the significance of literacy programs offered by local libraries. A representative highlighted the library's commitment to a family-centered approach, which includes providing childcare, learning activities, and meals for families. This initiative aims to eliminate barriers to access, allowing learners to focus on their education without the added stress of childcare or meal preparation. The resolution acknowledging the library's impactful work was met with appreciation from the board.

Following this, Supervisors Farris and another board member presented a resolution proclaiming September 15 through October 15, 2025, as Chicano Latino Heritage Month. This month is dedicated to celebrating the contributions of the Latino community and Spanish-speaking populations across the United States. The board emphasized the importance of recognizing the efforts of these communities in various sectors, including agriculture, healthcare, education, public service, and the arts.

The meeting concluded with the board members expressing their gratitude for the contributions of the Latino community and the ongoing efforts to promote literacy in Yolo County. The next steps include further engagement with community members to enhance support for these initiatives.
