Ebooks

Patrons have access to several hundred eBooks available through netLibrary.

In addition, Baldwin patrons are eligible to use thousands of older, non-copyrighted eBooks in netLibrary's "public collection" - including classic works by authors like Shakespeare and Homer.

You can read any netLibrary eBook while logged in as long as no other library patron is already using it. After 15 minutes without clicking on a link or moving through pages, the book goes back to the pool. Only one book may be viewed per patron.

NetLibrary eBooks may not be downloaded to computers, but you are able to print or copy limited amounts of text.

If you have any questions about using the eBook collection, contact a librarian at (248) 647-1700, #2.
