For another year e-readers are going to be popular gifts, whether it’s an iPad, Kindle, or another brand. They are wonderful gifts and personally I love all of my gadgets, but using them can be confusing if you don’t know the gadget language. So let your public library help you make heads or tails of this wonderful new gift! Remember, it is okay to buy one for yourself, just because!! We have trained staff to help you create an account, download books or stream movies, and eventually read a best seller or learn a new language!
EBooks- Cloud Library also known as 3
M
You will not only find adult books - fiction and non-fiction, but we have been working hard to buy young adult and children’s books too. If you prefer to listen instead of read, there are also audiobooks for all ages!
Hoopla
This is a great database for movies, audiobooks, comic books and music that can be streamed right to your device or computer and enjoyed instantly.
Flipster
Want to read magazines on your device? Flipster is the database for you! We have a variety of digital magazines that can be downloaded and read without having to pick them up at the library or buy them at the store. Check out some of our latest titles! If you have a title request, let us know!
Databases
There are many databases that allow you to access material ranging from car manuals to health questions 24/7.
Rosetta Stone
We are proud to announce that we are now offering Rosetta Stone for your foreign language needs. Need to learn a foreign language for school? Or how about for a fun travel trip? Look no further than your local library!
Coming soon
A new database interface is on the horizon. It will make searching all of our resources much easier! All you will have to do is type what you are looking for in one box and all of our resources will be checked. This will eliminate your having to type your request into multiple sites, making a more Google-like experience for all your library searching needs.
How do you enjoy our digital resources?
**All you need is a library card and a PIN**
