The library offers numerous types of materials which can be checked out and downloaded, including:

eBooks, audiobooks, music, and videos

Access to digital materials is available via NetLibrary and at The Mid-Ohio Library Digital Initiative. Generally, you will need a valid library card, access to the Internet, and free software for the computer and/or device on which you wish to use the material you download.

Please note that digital downloads can be enjoyed at home, at work, or when you travel, but are generally not for use on the computers in the library.

After you have an account set up, search for specific titles or see what we offer. Or search our catalog, you'll recognize e-audio titles because they will have the e-audio symbol next to them, as in the example below.
