Q. How can I get a book the library doesn't own delivered to me?

Books T.O. Your Door 

Most libraries do not Inter-Library Lend (ILL) books that are published within the last two years.  If you are looking for a brand-new book, audio, or media, please suggest a purchase otherwise, for books less than two years old, we have direct delivery of newer titles by "Books T.O. Your Door."

If you were using the Zip Books service, please note that option now been replaced by "Books T.O. Your Door."  Please use this link to request books published less than two years ago.  This service is funded by the Friends of the the Thousand Oaks Library.
