About netLibrary
  • There are several eBook collections available on this site:
  • The Library Collection contains books that your library has purchased for its patrons to use.
  • The Public Collection contains public eBooks that netLibrary has enhanced to facilitate better online/offline searching and reading.
  • A user account will let you access eBooks from anywhere.
  • User names and passwords must be a single word; you can include numbers, but not any punctuation. User names are not case-sensitive, but each user name in the netLibrary system must be unique.
  • There is a time limit on how long you may view an eBook from netLibrary.
  • The library online catalog contains most of the netLibrary books available to our patrons.  A search for Subject, Title, Author, or Keyword will produce links to any eBooks in our collection that match the search terms.
