In this final installment, we'll be taking a look at our many e-book resources for kids and adults. One great thing about our e-books is you don't have to remember to return them (they expire on their own) and there are never any fines!
For kids, we have:
Sesame Street E-books, picture books with animation & audio
OverDrive
StarWalk Kids Media, featuring picture books by award-winning authors and illustrators.
Please note: The login/password for the available apps is opl/opl (that is OPL lowercase).
Tumblebooks, animated, talking picture books and chapter books. Includes books in French & Spanish for language learning!
Most kids ebook services are interactive and allow you to customize your reading experience, such as turning narrative audio on and off. Several also have apps available so you can use them on the go. More details & links to help and FAQs are included on our Resources Page.
For adults/teens, we have two resources, both of which are now fully integrated into our catalog, allowing you to find titles as well as get on holds lists without using a separate app or going to another website.
3M offers e-books for all ages, you can browse our collection here, and checkout their online support resources here. They offer apps for many smartphones, e-readers (except traditional Kindles) and computers. Please remember your default account password is the last 4 digits of the primary phone number we have on file for you!
OverDrive
OverDrive has e-books, e-audiobooks and a limited number of downloadable videos for teens and adults. They offer apps for most platforms as well as Kindle support. They also have extensive online help, including videos and step-by-step guides for most devices.
We hope you've enjoyed this blog series and found a new resource (or two) to enhance your library experience!
