NET Library: Welcome to the world of electronic books! The NET Library provides you with access to a large collection of electronic books 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. All you need is an account and a computer that is connected to the Internet. Once you have set up your own personal account at a local library, you can read eBooks whenever you want. This electronic library contains a wide variety of materials. Some of it is literary, and in the public domain. Other books are important references that can be used for research. All eBooks in the collection are available for you to read or to check out. Depending upon a book’s status, you may check it out for 24 hours, 3 days, or only view it online. Before you do anything else —
You will need to set up your own personal account. Importantly, you can only set up your account while you are at a computer on the premises of a local library. Each library subscribes to its own group of eBooks. You may have more than one account, each with its own unique Username and Password. Accounts can be set up at any Quad City library.
For example, you can set up an account at the Rock Island Public Library and at the Davenport Public Library. However, you must go to each library to set up the accounts so you can use each library’s eBook collection. The system will not let you use the same names or passwords for different accounts.
For full details on how to use this great service, please click here to go to the instruction sheet in our Reference Services section. Downloadable e-books are also available! You can use our E-Book subscription to download audio books onto your computer and personal MP3 player. To use this feature, follow the link to the instructions for NET Library.
