Why don't you have the eBook or audio book version of a title
I'd like to read or listen to?
Not all eBooks or audio books are available for purchase by libraries because some
of the largest publishers have chosen not to sell eBooks or audio books to libraries.
If you don't see a popular or best selling title in our Digital Downloads, it isn't
because we've overlooked it. The eBook or audio book
isn't there because we are unable to purchase it.
What are libraries doing about it?
- We've voiced our concerns with our vendors and the publishers.
- Groups like the American Library Association have met with the largest publishers
and advocated for fair access to eBooks for libraries.
What can you do about it?
- If you don't see an eBook or audio book in our Digital Downloads collection. Fill
out a purchase suggestion online.
- If the library is unable to purchase that title, we'll let you know.
- Contact the publisher and let them know you'd like to be able to check out that
digital title from the library.
