Zip Books Program

The Zip Book Program 2024-25 

Starting November 12, 2024, if you submit a Purchase Suggestion and it meets the following criteria:

• Not currently in our collection; and
• Is a book, a large print book or an audiobook; and
• Published at least 3 months before the date of Zip Book request; and
• costs less than $35.00

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

You may 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 identify 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
• Select books in good condition that could potentially be added to the library catalog
