Ebooks and Audio Books
We have several ways to read eBooks and listen to Audio Books.
You can access ebooks through Overdrive/Sora through our school (instructions below), and ALSO access THOUSANDS of books through the Wayne Public Library, through Overdrive/Sora and Hoopla (you can see about our partnership with the public library, and how to use Hoopla for movies, audiobooks, etc. HERE).
We also have a number of Non-Fiction eBooks available through Follett Destiny and through ABC-CLIO. For Follett Destiny, just go to our Destiny Catalogue, and below the search box, change the "Narrow your search to..." parameters to be "Material Type: Electronic Book (ebooks)".
For ABC-CLIO, go to https://publisher.abc-clio.com and type in the ABC CLIO login and password. Then, choose SEARCH from the left side of the screen, and search for your topic.
