You can still get things to read when the library's closed: ebooks, audiobooks, digital magazines, downloadable music, and more! Take a look at one of the library's collections of digital media.
OverDrive is our longest-running and largest collection of ebooks. Ebooks may be available in various formats, including Kindle*, EPUB* for ebook readers such as the Nook or iPad, and the OverDrive READ* format, which can be read on your computer - no additional software required. You can also find audiobooks and some music and video selections. Follow the link for more information and assistance.
* Format availability varies by title.
Axis360 is a new collection of ebooks with an emphasis on illustrated texts: children's books, how-to books, cookbooks, and more. You can also find a selection of popular fiction here - check Axis360 if OverDrive doesn't have the titles or authors you're looking for. Follow the link for more information.
Zinio is a popular magazine subscription service, delivering digital magazines to your computer, tablet, or smartphone, and they now have magazines for your library! Follow the link for a step-by-step guide to getting started. (Remember: Start here or at the library's website to gain access to the library's collection, or Zinio will think you're an individual customer and charge you for magazines.)
TumbleBooks is a library of interactive kids' books - read, watch, and listen to the book at the same time!
Gale Virtual Reference Library gives you access to encyclopedias and reference books. Work on your project even when the library's closed!
