Take Reading to the Next Level with e-Books from Oregon Library2Go!
Users have 24/7 access to titles compatible with popular e-reading devices
Library2Go is a service that provides digital audiobooks and videos to patrons of participating libraries in Oregon, including libraries in Clackamas County, Washington County Cooperative Library System, and Multnomah Public Library system. On Monday, March 15, Library2Go will add thousands of e-Book titles that will be available for library patrons! Library2Go can be accessed at http://library2go.lib.overdrive.com. From the comfort of home, card holders of participating libraries can browse the collection, check out, and download eBooks, audiobooks and videos, anytime, anywhere.
e-Books can be read on a PC or Mac® using the free reader software Adobe® Digital Editions. eBooks can also be transferred to popular e-reading devices like the Sony® Reader and the Barnes & Noble nook™. Many eBooks feature reflowable text which allows users to resize the text and alter the display to fit any screen size. The Sony Reader and the nook are designed to look and feel like books and are great for users on the go. The devices feature EINK technology, a screen that reads like paper so it’s easy on the reader’s eyes.
To check out eBooks, audiobooks, and videos, users need a valid library card, computer, and internet connection. Once downloaded, digital media can be enjoyed on a computer and transferred to popular devices such as MP3 players, iPods®, Smartphones, and more. At the end of the lending period, titles automatically expire and are returned to the collection, however users may return eBooks early.
