In partnership with the California Department of Veterans Affairs (CalVet), your public library is pleased to help veterans and their families. Visit the Veterans Resource Center at a participating public library to learn about state and federal education, employment, housing, health, disability and other benefits that may be available to you and your family.

Special Note: Library services vary based on local Covid-19 restrictions; check with your library for more information.

Call your library to schedule a one-on-one consultation with trained volunteers, many of whom are veterans themselves or who have had professional experience assisting veterans, or just drop by and check out the collection of library books and other library materials selected especially for veterans.

Veteran Resources Centers are available at the following libraries. If you do not see your library listed here contact the California Department of Veterans Affairs or call toll free 1-844-SERV-VET for your nearest County Veterans Service Officer (CVSO).
