In case you weren't aware, our library's collection extends far beyond our physical walls. We are proud to offer many e-texts available for checkout at any time of day (or night) from anywhere you have an internet connection. I have a folder called "Reading" on my iPad and in it I have two apps that help me read e-books from our library. Currently, I'm reading The Ocean at the End of the Lane by Neil Gaiman, but my wish list is long: The Boys on the Boat, I am Malala, Lean In, Frog Music, Dad is Fat and so on and on and on... You should check out what we've got! Here's how.
