eBooks
BE SURE TO CHECK BOTH APPS
for titles you want.
Our hoopla & Libby collections are designed to complement each other, so they have different titles. If you’ve checked both apps and we don’t have what you’re looking for, suggest a title.
Ask a librarian if you need assistance requesting a title. (Requesting a title does not guarantee the library will be able to purchase it.)
CamelliaNet is an eBook consortium of which DPL is a part.
It is accessible through the Libby app.
DPL Card holders can check out
5 items at a time and have
up to 10 items on hold.
