Californians Gain Access to Over 300,000 Ebooks and Audiobooks Through State Library
Californians now have a richer resource at their fingertips with the launch of a new digital library service. The California State Library has announced that residents can now access over 300,000 ebooks and audiobooks at no cost, marking a significant expansion of digital reading materials available to the public.
The initiative, named 'California's Bookshelf,' aims to enhance educational and recreational reading across the state. This digital collection spans various genres, including fiction, non-fiction, children's books, and more, catering to readers of all ages and interests.
Residents can access this vast library through the Libby app or the Palace Project app, making it convenient to borrow and enjoy books on multiple devices. This move is seen as a crucial step in promoting literacy and lifelong learning, especially in the digital age.
The California State Library's effort to provide such a comprehensive digital resource is part of a broader initiative to support education and cultural enrichment throughout the state. This service is expected to benefit students, educators, and avid readers alike, fostering a more connected and informed community.
