ZIP Books

  • Eligible items are those that the Mendocino County Library does not own (Books or Audio Books permitted).
  • Limit one at a time, per person. A new request may be placed after previous Zip Book is returned.
  • DVDs and music CDs are not available.
  • No pre-publication items, other restrictions may apply.
  • Returned Zip Books may be added to the Mendocino County Library’s collection.
