What are eBooks?

 

Books that are published in digital or electronic format for display on a computer screen, eReader, or other handheld device.

 

 

 

Where can I find eBooks to read?

 

There are many places you can find eBooks to read.  Please note that not every title can be read on every device.  eBooks come in different formats.

 

In Our Library

 

You can find eBooks in our library by going into Destiny and selecting "Resource Lists" and then "Public".  There is a list entitled "eBooks".  Here you can see a list of all eBooks in our library.  Click a title and then click the link under Explore to launch the eBook.

 

Alternatively, you can access the eBook platform separate from Destiny by clicking this Infobase Publishing link.
