Transcription

1 ebook Checkout at Morrill Public Library There are 2 separate services that you can use to download/checkout free ebooks: 1) State Library of Kansas 2) Sunflower elibrary Start at the Morrill Public Library website for all links to ebooks! 1) State Library of Kansas Required: Kansas Library Card (6 digit number), separate from regular library card You can get this card from the Morrill Public Library What do they offer? OneClickdigital is their only audiobooks service (books you listen to). For ebooks, you should pick based on the type of books you like: o o o 3M Cloud Library contains larger publishers, so you'll see bestsellers here. Mostly fiction, with some popular non-fiction. This works like your normal library, where if all copies of a book are checked out, you place a hold. Freading differs in that it has no holds. All books are always available. Lots of variety in both fiction and non-fiction, there are even graphic novels. Smaller publishers, but the catalog has over 40,000 books in it and more are added at least once a week. Enki includes self-published books in its catalog of small-medium publishers. It also has a great variety of both fiction and non-fiction. Cooking, crafts, and DIY have good selection. Since the catalog is large and it is fairly new, holds are still uncommon. Please note that Freading & Enki use the same free software to download books, so once you've set up for one, all you need to do is learn to check out on the other. 3M Cloud Library In order to read ebooks on your mobile device, you have to download the free 3M Cloud Library App through the App Store on your device. You can still access your account on a computer and your device will automatically update the changes. 1
