Request books not available at the library and have them shipped directly to you
Is there a title that you are looking for, but it is not in the Library catalog?
Request it and get it delivered directly to your residence in just a few days through a Zip Books Grant from the California State Library, opens a new window, that allows the library to use Amazon to fulfill your requests.
When you're done with your item, return it to any of our library locations so we can add them to our shelves for others to enjoy.
All requests are considered under our collection development policy. Collection Development librarians have final decision to order and add items to the library's collection.
Thank you for your interest in the Zip Books Program, the 2025/2026 State Library fiscal funds have been spent for the year.
We will communicate if and when the program is funded for fiscal year 26/27.
Please feel free to request items from our Suggest a Purchase through our regular channel.
