“The only thing that you absolutely have to know, is the location of the library.” Albert Einstein

The Clayton Community Library Foundation (CCLF) was formed in 1989 to bring a library to Clayton. Working together with the city of Clayton and the Contra Costa County Library System, CCLF helped write the grant application which obtained Proposition 85 funds to build the Clayton Community Library. The Clayton Community Library opened in March 1995.

The Clayton Community Library Foundation continues to work on fund raising and volunteer programs. To date, CCLF has raised over $250,000 for books, electronics, furniture and programs. These funds are raised by Used Book Sales, Foundation Memberships, community fund-raisers, corporate donations/matching grants, and foundation grants.

The Clayton Community Library brings knowledge to our fingertips through books, music and technology, opening minds to new people, cultures, and ideas.
