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!
