During the Riverbank City Council and LRA Meeting on May 14, 2024, a notable highlight was the introduction of the ZipBooks program by the Stanislaus County Library. This innovative service allows residents to request books or audiobooks that are not available in the library's catalog.

Residents can simply visit the library's website to make their requests, and the selected items will be delivered directly to their homes at no cost. This program utilizes Amazon Prime for efficient delivery, enhancing access to reading materials for the community.

The introduction of ZipBooks is expected to significantly improve library services and encourage more residents to engage with reading and learning resources. As the program rolls out, it aims to bridge gaps in the library's offerings and ensure that all community members have the opportunity to enjoy a wider range of literature and audiobooks.

This initiative reflects the council's commitment to enhancing community services and promoting literacy among residents. As the program gains traction, it will be interesting to see its impact on library usage and community engagement in Riverbank.
