LIBRARY NEWS

Please continue to use the COVID19 tab to see the latest information and look at our numerous resources during this crisis. Resources specifically for financial help during COVID-19 can also be found under our Databases & Resources tab. We have created a Library page specifically devoted to information about Library resources, recovery and evacuee resources, and the Greenville Branch related to the Dixie Fire. Please click this link. 

All Libraries: We've added several new databases to the website - including the new e-book database Palace Project and information about the Dial-a-Story program! Check them out by scrolling to the bottom of the home page. We also now have state park passes you can borrow from your local branch.

All Libraries/Zip Book Program: The Zip Book Program has been expanded - you may now order up to eight (8) zip books per month, instead of four (4). All other rules still apply. 

Quincy: Scammers have spoofed the Quincy Library Branch's phone number of 530-283-6310. We will always leave you a voicemail if we are the ones to call. We will NEVER ask you for credit card information.

Chester/Quincy/Portola, Story Time: In person story time restarts in May 2022. Click on the story time tab below for more details. Chester Story Time has a new time.

All Libraries/Overdrive-Libby: Between May 3 and July 28, 2022, OverDrive will perform server upgrades between 6 a.m. and 8 a.m. Eastern Time on Tuesdays and Thursdays only. Your OverDrive service should only be impacted once for approximately 60 minutes or less.(Remember, Overdrive and Libby are the same e-book/audiobook service.)

All Libraries, Catalog Issue: As of May 11 2022, our URL is now working again. We apologize for the inconvenience this has caused, and thank you for your patience.  


LOCAL/STATE NOTICES
