Apply online for library access
Tri-Valley residents can now apply for an Alameda County Library eCard or have a Welcome Card mailed directly to their home. Members can stream art and craft classes through Creative Bug, as well as access grant directories and an expanded digital book and audiobook collection on several platforms.
Virtual programming and upcoming events including cooking demos and Lunar New Year programs also offer residents something new. Every new and full moon, library patrons can find new stories by calling the Listen Inn hotline: 1-833-990-BOOK.
In-person library services are also available. The Dublin branch located at 200 Civic Plaza has partnered with the Alameda County Law Library to give patrons access to legal databases and physical collections inside the library.
