California’s Bookshelf and the Palace Project

The California State Library has created California’s Bookshelf, a virtual collection of more than 300,000 eBooks and eAudiobooks, in partnership with the Palace Project. California’s Bookshelf is available in multiple genres and over 20 languages. Download the Palace app, and use the “find my library” search function to select California’s Bookshelf. Learn how to create a virtual library card in the Palace app. Go to support@thepalaceproject.org if you are having difficulties creating your virtual library card. Happy reading!

This program is supported in whole or in part by the U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Services under the provisions of the Library Services and Technology Act, administered in California by the State Librarian.
