MAXWELL, Calif. — Residents looking for books, library resources or help locating a county program should plan around the Maxwell branch’s limited weekly hours. Colusa County Free Library lists Maxwell Branch Library at 34 Oak Street and regular public hours of noon to 6 p.m. on Tuesdays.

How can residents confirm a visit?

The county’s branch directory provides 530-438-2250 and maxwelllibrary@countyofcolusaca.gov. Call ahead about borrowing, library cards, requested titles or specific events. A countywide library service does not imply that every branch has the same equipment or program offerings. Holiday closures and temporary staffing changes may affect the published Tuesday schedule.

What if someone needs a library on another day?

The same official directory lists branches in Colusa, Arbuckle, Williams, Grimes and Princeton with separate opening hours. Residents may be able to use the wider county library network, but they should verify what their library card permits and whether a requested book can be picked up at the chosen location.

Why schedules matter in rural communities

For households outside Maxwell, a trip to a branch that is unexpectedly closed can mean significant travel time. The safest approach is to check the live county directory and confirm any special program before leaving home, especially during holidays or severe weather.
