Mammoth Main Lodge Redevelopment Project
The Friends of the Library groups for three branch libraries are exhibiting art work by local, up-and-coming artist within their branches. These Gallery Walls offer the opportunity for the artists to place their work for public view and sale, and the Friends receive a portion of the proceeds of any sale.
ILL is no longer available. However, Zip Books can be used for book requests which are funded by a California State Library grant and become part of our collection.
We have lay-person level materials in our law libraries at the Bridgeport and Mammoth Lakes Branches. Check with your library staff on how to use the books and online resources. See the Law Library section under the "Programs" tab above.
We are happy to assist you with reference questions to the degree that the information in our collection allows.

Did you know that you have your very own Youth Librarian at the Mono County Libraries? You might know her as "that lady from the library," but she also goes by Carissa, and she's here to help you make the most out of your public library! Yes, we have books and DVDs for you to check out and computers to use, but that is just the tip of the iceberg. The public library is public space, which means it's also your space! So if you have an interest or a hobby that you'd like to expand and share with others, reach out and start a conversation. Carissa is always happy to chat with you about how we might bring your idea to life.

Mono County Library Booklists by Subjects
The Mono County Library System upholds the principals of intellectual freedom and the public’s right to know by providing people of all ages with access to material that reflects a diversity of points of view. This library system affirms its support of the basic library policies defined in the American Library Association’s Library Bill of Rights, Freedom to Read Statement, and Libraries: an American Value.
In accordance with California State Law (Gov. code section 6267), all registration and circulation records shall remain confidential. Records shall be maintained on fines that are unpaid; records shall also be retained for information on the number of times fines or other charges have been excused.
Library records are maintained solely for administrative purposes. They are not to be used to identify the types of materials borrowed by an individual, and library staff will not provide information to a third party about what a patron of the library has borrowed. The library will provide circulation information (printed or verbal) to the concerned library card holder or person authorized in writing by the library card-holder. Information regarding overdue items will be made available to the financially responsible person.
The Mono County Library enhances lives and strengthens our communities by providing free access to information, technology, life-long learning opportunities, social interactions, and cultural enrichment. The Library’s collections strive to support this mission by providing current, relevant, interesting and enduring works of general interest in a variety of formats to the communities served by each of our 7 locations.
