Another Format in the Downloadable Library


Adobe EPUB eBooks have been added to our “Downloadable Library”. Now in addition To OverDrive WMA Audiobooks and OverDrive MP3 Audiobooks, a selection of titles are available in the EPUB format.

An Adobe EPUB eBook is a digital version of a print book that has been optimized for on-screen reading. The book can be downloaded and read on your laptop or any other computer. You can change the font, resize the text, or alter the size of your display!
