If you’re reading this, you’re looking for one of two things:
Discover all that we offer. Books are just the beginning.
- Where the link is to your favorite or needed service
- What the Library offers that you didn’t know
Know your Library
We have a popular saying at Sacramento Public Library: They love us, but they don’t know us. We are a treasured service, but many still remember us as the library of their childhood — silent places of study where you can checkout something to read.
We’re still all about books — hardcover, paperback, large print, picture, ebooks, audiobooks, books available at a physical library, books available via a series of apps — and about being a welcoming space. We’re also about education, community and hosting events that bring those two experiences together.
We encourage you to take a look around to discover all that we offer. Books are just the beginning.
