Zip Books

The Zip Books program is temporarily suspended. Zip Books is a California State Library-funded program. We have used all the grant funds for this fiscal year. We expect to receive grant funds again. Please look for Zip Books to start up again in September or October.

Meanwhile, if you can't find the book you are looking for, please try LINK+. This is a shared catalog where you can request a book from another library and pick it up from your local Yolo County Library branch.

El programa Zip Books se suspende temporalmente.  Zip Books es un programa financiado por la Biblioteca Estatal de California.  Hemos utilizado todos los fondos de la subvención para este año fiscal.  Esperamos volver a recibir fondos de subvención.  Por favor, espere que Zip Books comience de nuevo en agosto.

Mientras tanto, si no puede encontrar el libro que está buscando, por favor intente LINK+.  Este es un catálogo compartido donde usted puede solicitar un libro de otra biblioteca y recogerlo en su sucursal local de la Biblioteca del Condado de Yolo.
