Check out digital and audio books

If you’re interested in downloading and checking out e-books and audiobooks, you can do that on the Library Memorial Library website.

Downloadable audiobooks and e-books are available for checkout through the Kansas EZ Library; this includes OneClickdigital for audiobooks and 3M Cloud for ebooks.

The books available in this collection are provided through a consortium including the State Library of Kansas and your local public library.

Downloadable audiobooks are available from OneClickdigital. Users must register online for an account before they can access the audiobook site.

There are more tutorials on the Kansas EZ Library site and under Help in OneClickdigital.
Downloadable e-books are available from 3M Cloud Library. Users must have a Kansas Library Card, which they can get at their local library.

There are mobile access and computer access tutorials on the Kansas EZ Library site. Their 3M help page offers troubleshooting advice.

To get started, go to the Library webpage at www.lmlibrary.org, look at the quick links section on the left side and click on Downloadable audiobook and e-book help. Follow the instructions on the page and you’ll be on your way in no time.

If you haven’t experienced the world of e-books, you can check out one of our two e-readers. We have a Nook and Kobo. Both are just e-readers and not tablets. While you can’t surf the net, there are hundreds of books downloaded onto the readers. You can pick and choose from a varied selection and this should give you a quick introduction into the world of e-books.

And there is a rumor that a tablet may be appearing at the Library for check out in the near future. Keep your eyes and ears open for further details!

The Library will be closed from Monday, December 24 to Wednesday, December 26. We’ll re-open for regular hours on Thursday, December 27 at 9 a.m.
