Digital Library / eBooks

Starting July 1, the Library will provide a more focused selection of digital collections to align with the funding allocated in the City’s adopted FY 2025–26 budget. These changes reflect a thoughtful review of usage patterns and cost considerations to help ensure we continue to deliver the best possible service with available funding.

Library cardholders will still have free access to a robust collection of popular digital offerings, such as eBooks, eAudiobooks, streaming movies, online newspapers, business resources, live homework help, children’s learning tools, and reading challenges.
