Valley Digital Library is the portal to eBooks and digital Audiobooks for all age levels. You may search by author, title, keyword -- just like the regular catalog.
You can check out files to read on your desktop, phone, or IPad. To read on your device, download either the Libby app from the Apple store or Play store. Both will work. Once downloaded, select your library (Huntsville-Madison County Public Library) and sign in with your library card number and pin/password. Now you can search for the books you need.
Want only ebooks? Want only MP3 files? You can limit your search to filter out only the file types you want. Click on the "All Formats" dropdown arrow and select the format you want.
Want to only look at available titles? Click on "Advanced Search...." You will get a more detailed search screen. Enter your search terms, and click on the box next to "Only show copies with titles available."
