Walnut Creek Library and Rossmoor Service Project
Rossmoor Books-to-Go is a free service provided by the Walnut Creek Library and Rossmoor community volunteers. If you live in Rossmoor, all you need is a valid Contra Costa County Library card in order to use the Rossmoor Books-to-Go service.
How it Works
Rossmoor volunteers pick up requested items at the Walnut Creek Library every Thursday, and deliver them to the Administration office in Gateway. Books, audio books, and music CDs are checked out for a period of 4 weeks to allow for delivery time. You may renew items that have no waiting lists by accessing your account online, or by calling 1-800-984-INFO and choosing Bookline.
You will receive an automated phone notice or an email to let you know that your items have arrived. You may pick them up and return them at the Administration office Monday through Friday, from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. You will be asked to sign a logbook acknowledging receipt and return of the items. Items not picked up after 10 days will be returned to the Walnut Creek Library. Items must be returned to the Administration office prior to their due date.
