Many of these resources have been generously provided by the California State Library as part of the American Rescue Plan Act.
  3. Downloadable Books, Movies, & Music: Do you use your phone or tablet for reading, watching movies, or listening to music? Download these free apps and use your library card to borrow free books, movies, and music.
  4. Geneaology & History: Researching your family or community's history? These resources grant patrons access to primary and secondary texts such as history texts, encyclopedia articles, newspapers, census data, and much more.
