The Santa Maria Public Library is now offering service from Zip Books, which enables readers to order books and audiobooks not currently owned by any of the library’s branches and have them sent to their home at no cost.
Items from Zip Books typically take three to five days to arrive and can be returned to the library when finished, either to the information or youth services desks. Library branches in Orcutt, Guadalupe, Los Alamos, or Cuyama will also accept Zip Books returns. Zip Books is run by NorthNet Library System and funded through the California Library Services Act (CLSA).
