Better late than never??? I learned just yesterday that CCPL has access to over 16,000 e-books on NetLibrary through a purchase made by the Library of Virginia. The most recent acquisition is of a job-search & related skills collection, which was made available only a few months ago. But in investigating our lack of access to that set, I learned that a larger collection had been purchased in 2004.
Access to the books, which have to be read on-line, is now established and the titles have been added to the library's catalog. E-book results will show in any other search you do, along with our physical holdings. To read the ebooks, you will either need to be on a computer in the library, or have first created a free NetLibrary account from a library computer. Once you've created your free NetLibrary account, you'll be able to read the ebooks from any computer with internet access.
Many of the books are non-fiction, but there are some fiction, including some juvenile fiction like 13 Mississippi Ghosts and Jeffrey. I hope you'll take the time to look at this valuable resource!
