Hi All,

The library has a fantastic product for downloading ebooks and audiobooks called Overdrive - its free by the way.  Click here for the link.

Using just your library card you can download current fiction, current non-fiction and audiobooks to your iPad, Kindle and other Android devices.

But wait...there's more. Other websites give users access to even more free ebooks and free audiobooks.

Readers can visit Gutenberg.org to download free contemporary fiction and non-fiction ebooks to your devices.  Users must use the Kindle free app or have an Amazon kindle device

However, users can also use HundredZeros to download free and discounted (these cost money)  ebooks that match your interests.  Link to HundredZeros is here.

Finally users can try BookBub.com for even more downloadable books. (Users must register for BookBub though.  BookBub is free to join and you can read on any device. Also, the books are yours to own.

Enjoy the sites and the free ebooks!  Happy reading.

Regards,
