If the book you want isn’t owned by the Carpinteria Community Library, the fastest option is the Zip Books program. Zip Books requests can be placed for books, large print books, and books on CD. Zip Books are shipped to you from Amazon at no charge to you. The funding for Zip Books comes from the California State Library. The book is checked out to you, and once you read the book and return it to the library, it becomes part of the collection for others to enjoy.
We Are Open!
The Carpinteria Community Library is open and we’re excited to welcome you back to a renovated library experience.
Our library is offering in-person services that include browsing, computer access, pick up of holds, printing, checking out of materials inside our renovated library, and more.
As we continue our phased opening, we’re focused on creating safe and welcoming spaces and library programs for everyone, and we look forward to seeing you soon.
