Zip Books Program

Our Zip Book grant funds have been spent for this fiscal year. Until we get our grant funds for the 2024-25 fiscal year, we are only accepting purchase suggestions of books and Books-on-CDs published in the year 2022 and newer.

This does not affect the purchase suggestions of DVDs.

♦ Submitting a Zip Book Request ♦ When our program resumes ♦

If your Purchase Suggestion is:

  • not currently in our collection; and
  • a book, a large print book or an audiobook; and
  • published before 2023; and
  • costs less than $35.00

we will order it through Amazon and have it shipped to your home.

Please submit only one Zip Book request at a time. If multiple requests are submitted, only one will be processed and the remaining requests will be rejected.

 

After Receiving The Book

When you have finished, you can return it to your local branch and it will be added to the collection (include a note inside the book when you return it to the branch to identified it as a Zip Book).

Once the branch has received your Zip Book title, you may place another Zip Book request.

 

Things We Encourage 

  • Make sure the address in your account is accurate
  • Add an email address to your account so you get status updates on your request
