Freading

Start Freading Today!

Freading is a new eBook service - over 15,000 titles and growing! And like the name says, you get Freading for free, one of the many perks of a library card. It’s really easy to find your way around the Freading site, where you can search or browse for exactly what you want. You can explore Top Downloads, New Arrivals, or specific categories like kids or adult fiction, history, religion, gardening, graphic novels, games, crafts, cooking and much, much more.

Freading works with a token system. You get four free tokens to use as you choose every week, and all your unused tokens will roll over each week until the end of the month. Each eBook is yours for two weeks and you can also renew eBooks for an additional two weeks, often without using any extra tokens. Here’s the best part: there are no wait times, no holds, and no late fees!

Freading is easy to use and works on almost any popular eReader, iPhone, iPad or Android device.

CNIB Partners Program

Books You Can See, Feel & Hear

If someone you know has a print disability, we can help them experience the joys of reading again!

We're proud to annouce that our library now has access to the CNIB Library's collection of more than 80,000 books in formats that people with print disabilities can benefit from, like audio, Braille, descriptive video and printbraille - books you can see, feel and hear.

A print disability limits a person’s ability to read traditional print - that can include visual, physical and learning disabilities.

If someone you know has a print disability, our accessible books may be just what they need to get reading again.

To take advantage of this collection, just ask and we’ll be happy to assist you.
