THE LIBRARY E-BOOK AND AUDIO BOOK COLLECTION
Many people have discovered the joy of e-reading. What better time than now to embrace a new way of accessing books? Accessing our e-book collection is a fantastic way to meet your need to read. We have thousands of titles waiting for you!
Here are several benefits of e-reading that apply now, and always.
1. Save a trip to the library
There’s no doubt that the library is a wonderful place to visit, but you won’t have to go very far to borrow e-books. Once your e-book is available, you can download it at any hour of the day, any day of the year, all from the comfort of your own home.
2. Easy returns
If you often forget to return your books once you are done with them, e-books will make your life easier by automatically returning themselves at the end of your loan period.
3. Read anytime, anywhere
Read on the go and take your whole library with you! Whether it's on the bus, train, airplane, or even just to stand in line at the grocery store.
4. One device, many books
If you’re not sure which book to pack, e-books eliminate the need to choose one book over another. Carry around many books on your mobile device, tablet, e-reader, or laptop.
5. A dictionary at your fingertips
With many e-books, you can use the built-in dictionary feature to define an unfamiliar word. On most devices, you can do this by pressing and holding the word you'd like to look up.
6. Search in seconds
With many e-books, you can search through an entire book in seconds. Easily pinpoint information using the search function, instead of turning page after page to find what you’re looking for.
7. Customize how you read
Adjust the text size to be as small or as large as you’d like. You’ll also have options to adjust other settings, such as margins, line spacing, font style, brightness, and much more.
8. Improve your reading ability
Our e-book platform has decodable reading materials and structured literacy tools that aid comprehension, vocabulary and fluency.
8. Environmental impact
E-books eliminate the need for paper, reducing deforestation and the environmental impact of printing. An e-book has a lower carbon footprint than a physical book.
