MODOC COUNTY, Calif. — Residents of Alturas, Cedarville, Adin and Lookout have a network of public-library branches that offer more than book borrowing, according to the Modoc County Library system.

Branches across a large rural county

The library’s official location directory lists the main library at 212 W. Third Street in Alturas, with additional branches at the Adin Community Hall, Cedarville on Main Street and Lookout Park. Hours and staffing vary by branch, making it important to check details before driving from one community to another.

The library services page describes physical collections, e-books and audiobooks through Libby, and a Zip Books program designed to help patrons access titles not found in the catalog. Libraries also provide technology and practical community services; availability may vary by location.

How to use the services

The library website includes catalog access and branch information. The Alturas main branch lists 530-233-6358 for location questions. People requesting digital accounts or services should ask staff about library-card requirements and availability before assuming that every service can be completed remotely.

Public libraries can be particularly important in communities with limited travel and internet options, serving students, older residents, job seekers and families.
