R&R Lending Library
  • The R&R Lending Library is open Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Every third Wednesday of the month, we have extended evening hours until 8:00 p.m.

  • R&R Lending Library items need to be checked out and picked up by a representative of a child care program or family child care home.

  • Items are available on a first-come, first-served basis. If a resource item is checked out, calling the office at (559) 651-0862 can reserve the item. You will be placed on a waiting list and called when the item is available.

  • Library items must be returned in good condition. Please clean toys and equipment before returning them. If items are returned with excessive damage, replacement can be an identical item purchased by the provider, or payment for the original cost of the item can be made to the R&R office.

The following items are available for check out:
  • Audio Visual Equipment
  • Videos and Cassettes
  • Books
  • Toys (for large outdoor toys, call in advance for pick up on Wednesdays)
