Finding eBooks Online

You can access the library’s extensive collection of ebooks online. We include many of our popular titles as ebooks.

eBooks:

• are accessible 24/7
• do not need to be requested
• do not incur fines
• are a good option if working away from the CEC

Most of our ebooks are accessible via the Library Search catalogue. Here’s how to find an ebook…
