Not all books are available in eBook or eAudiobook format. If a book is available to individual consumers, sometimes it cannot be purchased by libraries.
Additionally, the prohibitive cost of eBook and eAudiobook pricing set by major publishers does not allow the library to purchase all the titles needed to match the print collection and stay within budget. You can read more about it here.
What’s the good news? We have access to hundreds of thousands of eBooks and eAudiobooks through our three main apps: Libby, hoopla, and the Palace Project.
Explore all eBook & eAudiobook resources here. To submit a suggestion for purchase you can use the Libby app “Notify me” feature, or if the book is not in the Libby app, sign in to the Sonoma County Library catalog and submit your title request. Librarians review the requested titles when making purchase decisions.
