Time to relax with an eBook

Now that grades are posted and you're caught up on sleep, how about reading...for fun?

Even if your home base this summer is far from campus, you're traveling, or you just don't feel like coming to our Library so soon after finals, you can still enjoy eBooks and audiobooks from the WVDELI! You'll just need your UCA and password to access the collection.

There's more good news! OverDrive Read, which allows you to read a book in a web browser, is now available for some titles in the collection.

We have step-by-step instructions for common devices, including Kindle, Nook, iPad and more, in our LibGuide.

Also, don't be discouraged if an item is checked out and you need to place a hold. Many popular titles have multiple copies available, so your time on the waiting list may be short.

Happy reading and listening, and please Ask Us if you have any questions!
