Books in the Mono County Library System

A note on NOLO Books: Nolo Press is based in Berkeley , and they have a complete line of books (and online information) that provide legal information. Nolo’s mission is to ‘help people solve their legal problems with confidence, a minimum of fuss and expense, and-whenever possible- without a lawyer.’ Their motto is ‘Putting the law into plain English for 30 years.’ The books are very readable and informative!
