Public libraries are wonderful resources for finding physical and digital materials to support your academic and personal growth. In addition to borrowing books, magazine, movies, and shows, CPLs offer resources like Research Databases and Online Resources, access to Online Courses including LinkedIn Learning (for those who cannot access it through UC’s free access), continuing education classes, and digital literacy courses.
A Library membership also gives the cardholder access to Libby, a free app where you can enjoy eBooks, digital audiobooks, and magazines from your public library. All you need is a library card!
