ebooks!

While we strive to update our current physical collection, we look to the future and provide access to a virtual collection as well!

Besides the physical books and audio books we have in the library, we also provide access to all kinds of ebooks through our library system. These ebooks and online audio books are available in different formats for various e-readers, such as Kindles, Nooks, Sonys, iPads, iPhones and more! And of course, the best part is, it's free, and there are no late fees or fines! All you need is your library card.

To browse the current collection of popular books, visit http://reading.lib.overdrive.com. You can search the collection via title, authors, or subject. Once you find the ebooks you want to read (or audio books you want to listen to) you can check them out by following the screens and using your library card. If an ebook you want is already checked out by another patron, you can request the ebook, just as you would a regular book at the library. You can check ebooks out for 7 days or 14 days. When you are nearing the due date, you will receive an email reminder, and on the due date, the book will be removed from your e-reader. You may have up to 5 library ebooks or audio books at one time.


If you have any questions, feel free to call the library! We have bookmarks with detailed instructions as well as papers with further tips and explanations. Enjoy!

Note: Every e-reader requires ebooks to be in a certain format, and they download ebooks using different methods. Know your e-reader!
