Library materials are available from other libraries in California. We can order almost any book for you using the Mountain Valley Library System, OCLC Firstsearch, the Internet, or other on-line systems to access library holdings throughout the state. To order a book, fill out a request form (available at your local library) giving all the information you know about the book. Books in Print may also be used to identify the correct author, title, publisher and series. If you have a deadline, please let us know. Items borrowed from libraries not affiliated with the Mountain Valley Library System may have a charge; charges will be assessed at the time the item arrives at the library.

We are happy to assist you with reference questions to the degree that the information in our collection allows. For additional reference assistance, we refer questions to the Mountain Valley Library System. If the question cannot be answered at Mountain Valley, a variety of on-line reference resources can be used to secure the needed information.

LIBRARY CARDS

The Mono County Library System offers several types of library cards. Permanent cards are offered to residents of one year (or more) of Mono County, persons who own property, are employed by Mono County, or who have students enrolled in a Mono County school. We also offer these cards to holders of Mountain Valley area library cards. Temporary cards are offered to new residents of the county upon completion of necessary paperwork. Visitors may obtain a visitor’s card when they provide us with their home library card.
