Zip Books is an alternative to traditional interlibrary loan. You may request a book, large print book, or an audiobook to be delivered to your home, free of charge. Once you have finished reading, return the book to the library and we will add it to our collection for others to enjoy.

• You must have a library card and the account must be in good standing, with no more than two outstanding Zip Books items.
