Library Launches Zip Book Program Expansion and Plans October Events
The Library Board of Trustees meeting held on September 23, 2025, in Corona City, Riverside County, focused on updates and upcoming events for the library community as the summer activities transitioned into the school season. Director Finch opened the meeting by announcing the expansion of the Zip Book program, which will now allow patrons to access eBooks through a new format. Miss Whittington provided further details on this initiative, explaining that patrons can request eBooks and audiobooks via the Palace Project app without affecting their monthly borrowing limits.

The meeting also highlighted the upcoming California Library Association conference scheduled for October 23-25 in Riverside. The theme, "Telling Our Own Stories," aims to empower library staff and promote community engagement through storytelling. Trustees were encouraged to attend and share insights from the event.

Several community events were announced, including Reader Khan on September 28, which is expected to attract around 300 participants. Other notable events include a Taylor Swift album release party on October 4, a Star Wars Day on October 6, and a paranormal investigation for adults on October 17. The latter will involve participants using tools for ghost investigations within the library.

Miss Whittington also shared the library's top titles for August, which included popular graphic novels and the eBook "The Handmaid's Tale." Additionally, a coding class for ages 10-15 will continue on Fridays due to its popularity during the summer.

The meeting concluded with no public comments or questions, and the trustees expressed their enthusiasm for the upcoming events and the library's busy schedule. The next Library Board of Trustees meeting is set for October 28, where a report on the Heritage Room will be presented.
