What's happening with Zip Books?


The Zip Books service will end May 15, 2023. The California State Library funded this program, and the money has been spent. You will still be able suggest a title through our Suggest a Purchase form, or with staff assistance. We value your input, and we aim to build collections that reflect the needs of our communities.
