California Public Library Access!
In today’s email from my local library (City of Alameda, California)—I did not know this!
Any California resident can get a free library card at the following city libraries — just fill out the application to access all their digital “stacks”!
Los Angeles: click here
San Diego: click here
San Jose: click here
Oakland: click here
Checking out books and other materials from the library is great for several reasons:
-
- Increased use of library services allows libraries to request additional funding from state and local budgets.
- Authors get royalty payments for library check-outs — another great way to support the writers, musicians, and artists you love!
- It gives your library a better idea of what’s in demand. If you’re looking for a book, film, or album that your library doesn’t carry, please request it so artists can get their work into more libraries and seen by more people!
