Did you get a new device over the holidays? Before spending money on eBooks, audiobooks, or other streaming content, consider getting them for free through our library.
As a Fondulac District Library card holder, you can access our digital collections on several apps. We also offer support for these platforms during Appy Hour, a walk-in program where you can meet with a librarian for one-on-one tech help and learn how to access digital content on your device through our library apps or by searching our catalog. Appy Hour is held every fourth Tuesday of the month from 2 to 3 p.m. If this time does not work for you, call us at 309-699-3917 to make an appointment. You can also walk in any time and a reference librarian can help you at the Information Desk.
Hoopla Digital is a streaming service available through our library to those who hold a Fondulac District Library Card. Hoopla is a website and app that can be used to stream movies, TV, music albums, comics, eBooks, and audiobooks. Some of the content can be downloaded to a mobile device for access without WiFi.
The Libby or Overdrive apps both offer the same content. Use Overdrive if you prefer to read on a Kindle. Enjoy eBooks and audiobooks for all ages while you are on the go. A library card number and PIN are required to log in.
Biblioboard is a website and app that anyone located in Illinois can access via GPS. A library card is not needed, though Biblioboard recommends creating a personal account so that eBooks can be accessed without WiFi.
Download the Axis 360 app and log in with your library card number and PIN to access thousands of eBooks and audiobooks. The app automatically downloads content to a device for access offline.
