We are pleased to announce that the Van Buren Public Library now offers e-books for its patrons. We recently joined a group of Evergreen libraries in the eDigital Indiana Consortium to not only offer e-books for our patrons but also audio books for ipods and mp3 players.
There are a few instructions and guidelines you will need to read through before getting started. Our experience thus far has shown the process to be an easy one. As always please feel free to contact us if you have any questions.
