FAQs

The library offers ebooks in several online collections. Downloading is only necessary if you want to read the ebook offline. The option to download and the process involved varies depending on which collection the ebook comes from. 

Ebooks you can fully download will include a download link. This is a temporary check out and the ebook will expire after a set amount of time. Many ebooks also allow you to download a specific number of pages as a PDF that won’t expire.
