Updated on March 28, 2025 at 8:15am We've been impressed by the overwhelming interest in checking out e-books via California's Bookshelf... and by overwhelming, we actually mean literally that. Nothing should come between you and a good book, so Palace made sure the servers had a good breakfast today. Happy reading!
EDIT on March 27, 2025 at 1:40pm: After the launch of California’s Bookshelf virtual library earlier today, Palace has seen an influx of new users accessing The Palace Project app. Increased traffic has caused app slowness and outages that the Palace team is currently addressing. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to resolve these issues.
PRESS RELEASE – Every Californian with an email address and an internet connection can now visit California’s Bookshelf and access more than 300,000 eBooks and eAudiobooks.
