Are there other fees for Zip Books?

We no longer charge Zip Book fees; however, if a Zip Book is not returned, you may have to pay a replacement fee before you can request another Zip Book.

What happens to returned Zip Books?

Our librarians will review the item and evaluate whether to add the item to the library’s collection. If it is not added to the collection, it will be given to the Friends of Salinas Public Library (FOSPL) or another organization.

Why would my Zip Books request be denied?

Your request may be denied if the item does not meet the Zip Books criteria listed or if another patron has requested the same Zip Book.
