E-books

You can find most of the library's e-books in Andor. E-books can be read online or you can download them to your own device. Loan period is usually 1-14 days.

If you can't find the book you need or if you cannot access a book that is in the collections, contact the Library's customer service.

You can also search for ebooks directly in the ebook services. The advantage of doing this is that you are able to search in the full text of the books. Listed here are a few of the ebook collections you have access to via the library.
