ZIPBOOKS IS BACK
The Library has reintroduced Zip Books, a service for requesting book materials that the Library does not already own. You can use this service to have qualifying books, audiobooks on CD, and large print materials shipped directly to you. Enjoy up to three items at a time at your own pace, then return them to the Downtown Library when you are finished. Learn more about this program here.
Zip Books is a statewide project of the California State Library and NorthNet. The Project is funded by the California Library Services Act.
