I have always imagined that Paradise will be a kind of library. ~Jorge Luis Borges


Now with our membership in the WV Reads eBook Consortium, the Raleigh County Library system is proud to offer you eBooks for your e-readers and other devices! With over 2400 eBooks and e-Audiobooks and growing, we're giving you access to your library on the go! You can find our collection of eBooks on the front page by clicking the OverDrive icon, or just by going straight to WV Reads.


In addition to our OverDrive service, we also have our Gale Virtual Reference Library, which has access to downloadable versions of some of the reference books in the library. The GVRL includes titles such as "The Gale Encyclopedia of Medicine" or the "Encyclopedia of Religion", letting you read or search these books at your leisure, without having to come out to the library! You will find the link to that database on the "Databases" page, under the "Research and Learning" tab of the menu.


If you need more information, check out this guided tour to the OverDrive service. And as always, you can contact your library! We'll be glad to walk you through how to set up your account and get started reading eBooks and listening to e-Audiobooks!
